A wonderful evening unfolds at the #ECDV2025 Gala Dinner in the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya. Celebrating our shared achievements in an elegant and festive atmosphere.

The Seven Spanish Popular Songs. Many melodies, traditionally attributed to men, in fact originated on the lips of women, in everyday spaces such as the communal washhouses. Falla, far from dismissing that popular and feminine origin, elevates it into universal art #ECDV2025

When composing El amor brujo, Manuel de Falla studied in depth the cante jondo—a song of Andalusian, Roma and Arabic roots, the most primitive flamenco. He succeeded in bringing it into the universe of classical music enriching it without stripping away its authenticity #ECDV2025

Emma Chacón, a Basque-Catalan composer like tonight’s ensemble, reminds us that classical music was also made by women. Saying it was made by men reflects ignorance and the biased lens that hides women’s extraordinary contributions #ECDV2025

The conversations don’t slow down at #ECDV2025. This second afternoon is alive with debates, new ideas and shared experiences. Symposia, workshops and parallel sessions are bringing together research, practice and policy to tackle domestic violence from multiple angles.

Lidia Puigvert’s keynote unveils the hidden transformations that feminism is driving across all sciences and society. The feminism of all women has been key to the current requirement for co-creation across the sciences and within society #ECDV2025

Powerful presentation by Janet Fanslow sharing compelling data from New Zealand’s Family Violence Study on the diversity and severity of violence experienced by women and men, and emphasizing the need to build supportive environments to prevent violence #ECDV2025

So that we can all contribute to #ECDV2025 without anyone questioning our life choices.

Science and music have always gone well together. Enjoying Bach at #ECDV2025

The gardens of the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya are also the best place to take a break and get some fresh air before continuing to work on #ECDV2025

When we talk about children exposed to domestic violence we often do not see them as the ones who take responsibilities at home or take care of injured parents. Insightful keynote by Maria Eriksson. #ECDV2025

Carmen Martinez Perza, Spanish Government Delegate Against Gender-Based Violence ends her talk: “The eradication of violence against women is not a utopia: it is a democratic obligation, an ethical imperative and a fundamental human right”
