Andorra la Vella's local council has organised a conference and yoga session for International Women's Day, emphasising the importance of self-care for women overburdened by household duties, childcare, and work.
The event featured speaker Marlene Gonçalves, alongside Suray Fernandez and Paula Frenske, who urged participants to prioritise their own well-being. "Mothers need to be whole when they pick up their children at 5pm," Gonçalves said, adding that "whole mothers must take care of themselves." She encouraged women to "care for themselves consciously" and start each day with personal care, noting that doing so changes the entire rhythm of the day.
The initiative highlights how women often neglect themselves amid multiple responsibilities. By focusing on self-care first, Gonçalves argued, they can better manage their demands. The session concluded with a yoga practice to put these ideas into action.
Held as part of the 8 March celebrations, the activities aimed to promote reflection on women's health and balance in daily life.
