Spain's commitment to gender equality is reflected in its legal framework, particularly the Organic Law for the Effective Equality of Women and Men. The country has made strides in political representation, workplace equality, and combating gender-based violence, but still faces challenges like the gender pay gap and underrepresentation of women in STEM. Ongoing efforts and future strategies aim to address these issues, with a focus on cultural change and enforcement of laws.
