Cris Walker - SpainWhat happened to the 2015 maternity benefit in Spanish pensions to turn it into a "paternity" benefit in 2025?
Talk: In 2015, the Spanish government introduced a maternity benefit in women's pensions by law with the aim of narrowing the gender gap. Ten years later, men are receiving it en masse because the European Court of Justice ruled that the measure was discriminatory against men.
I am a 60 yo Spanish feminist translator. I translate mainly texts by Lesbian Radical Feminists authors but also essays on prostitution or articles on a variety of (feminist) subjects. As a dear friend told me days ago, my translating is an act of love. I love the texts and I love to spread them among my Spanish speaking sisters.I can no longer work for a salary due to a chronic illness so I have a lot of time. I love going for walks on the countryside, meeting my feminist friends and connecting women whenever I can. I offer my help when needed. I love women.

Why I signed the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights
A brief biography. How I became a feminist in the 1970s, had an academic career that involved working on university 'Womens/Gender Studies' courses as well as researching women and technology. Being blindsided by the movement to promote gender self-ID and the denial - especially by 'feminist' organisations - that this would have any negative impacts on women or conflict with women's sex-based rights.
