Health is also equality. March 8. International Women’s Day.

From the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, we join 8M, International Women's Day, with a clear message: health is also equality.

According to a new study by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute and Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu, working fewer hours while maintaining the same salary has proven benefits: it improves physical health, mental health, and time to live.

But reducing working hours is not enough if we do not review how responsibilities are distributed. This extra time once again falls on women: more caregiving, more invisible tasks, and greater gender inequality.

This 8M, health is also equality.

Time, health and equity.
