BARCELONA WOMAN ACCELARATION WEEK (BWAW)

BWAW was launched  with the aim of accelerating and boosting gender equality to help achieve full participation and equal opportunities for women in industry at all levels.

It is a unique event due to its hybrid nature: a physical encounter that will be supported by a digital platform.

BWAW aims to become a global model in Europe, acting as a driving force for projecting added value actions in gender equality.

Women's Council

In 2020 we created the Women’s Council, a consultative and coordinating body for the equality policies implemented in our productive area. The aim of this council (which is the first of these characteristics to be created in industry) is to generate greater visibility for women in industry, favour the gender perspective and ensure equal rights.

This initiative has had the support and involvement of female executives of companies in the Free Zone area. The aim is to encourage more and more companies and people in the zone who share our goal to join the project.

Feel the ZF Power

One of the initiatives of the Consell de la Dona ZF is the FEEL THE ZF POWER action, which brings – without gender bias – Barcelona schoolchildren to the companies in the Free Trade Zone, making their contribution to society known.

This annual campaign highlights the social responsibility of the companies that are part of the Consell de la Dona ZF with respect to the new generations and shows the contribution of the companies in the Free Zone in employment, innovation, equal rights and sustainability.

Nearly 20 companies and about 300 schoolchildren from the city participate annually in the 5 itineraries that make up this informative experience (recycling, mobility, chemical, logistics and economy 4.0 itinerary).

Feel the ZF Power - Summary video

Feel the ZF Power was born in 2022 with the aim of awakening curiosity in STEM education among girls and boys aged 11 to 16, through visits to companies in the industrial and technological environment. Following the succés of the pilot programme carried out during the 2022-2023 academic year, the project had continuity during the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic years.

Driven by the CZFB and the advisory committee Women’s Council of the Zona Franca, the project is part of the entity’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, directly impacting SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and SDG 17 (Partnerships).
