Conciliation e co-responsibilty
Work-life balance is one of the keys to achieving greater equality between women and men in today's society. The Universidade de Vigo must become a reference for society as a whole, in order to place the "sustainability of life" at the centre of our institution and thus humanise it.
Lactation rooms
Lactation rooms are a comfortable and private space for exclusive use to breastfeed or express milk in peace and quiet. They are places with ventilation and warm lighting and have suitable furniture and appliances that allow milk to be conserved.
Following WHO recommendations, at the Universidade de Vigo we have this option available for those who choose to breastfeed and need to use this resource on the three university campuses.

A campaign of testimonies from men from the university community on the three campuses to know about their role models for egalitarian masculinity.
