In the framework of International Women’s Day, we join the campaign of Full Inclusion campaign to highlight the valuable contribution of women who have made history in our sector. It is time to recognize their hard work and unwavering commitment to the inclusion and empowerment of people with disabilities.
We would like to pay tribute to women like Elena Mellado and Dulce de la Rosa, promoters of the ASI program for the improvement of healthcare in Castilla y León.
We also want to pay tribute to women like María Ángeles García Sanz, first president of Asprona Valladolid and of the Federation of entities for people with intellectual disabilities. Her dedication and leadership have left an indelible mark on our community and continue to inspire future generations.
At Fundación PersonasWe are committed to continue working for gender equality and to recognize the invaluable contribution of women in building a more inclusive and just society, let’s celebrate #women’s day and continue fighting for a world where all people are valued and respected equally! Also, from Fundación Personas, we want to celebrate March 8 by joining the slogan proposed by UN Women “Investing in women: accelerating progress”.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and their families. To do this we provide comprehensive services, in the environment and covering all stages of the life cycle of a person.
