What is the current situation of women-led social economy projects in Spain?

We are delighted to receive this support, but we are also concerned for the other organisations that have difficulties in recovering and continue their activity, which not only has a great social but also an economic impact. We have recently carried out a survey on the current situation of women's organisations and these are some of the data found:

• More than 22,000 women are served by the 75 organisations consulted
• A 61% of organisations admit to having had lower revenues in 2020 due to the pandemic
• The 48% of organisations have had to do some kind of training in the past. cutbacks to cope with the crisis of the coronavirus such as wage cuts, reduced working hours, redundancies and retrenchments.
• The 41% of the organisations do not have income security by 2022.

Support women's organisations that change the world and are at risk of disappearing!
