Qué funciona en España

Spain has implemented landmark gender equality reforms. Spain's Equal Non-Transferable Paternity Leave Reform (2017–2021) extended fully paid paternity leave from 2 to 16 weeks with roughly 20 percentage points increase in father uptake, positioning Spain as an EU model for gender-equal parental leave. Spain's Organic Law 1/2004 — Integrated Protection Against Gender Violence (LOVG) established 106 specialized gender-violence courts that handled 2 million complaints and secured 700,000 convictions over 15 years, becoming a global model for integrated gender-based violence legislation. Beyond gender policy, guifi.net demonstrates Spain's innovation in infrastructure: a volunteer-built, commons-governed broadband network in rural Catalonia operates over 37,000 active nodes and roughly 71,000 km of links as of December 2021. The evidence documents Spain's advances in labor rights, judicial protection, and digital access, though quantified outcomes beyond convictions and network scale are limited in the available practices.
