Their legacy continues to remind us that the pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice must never cease.

The Ambassador also extended his deepest appreciation to María Gil, Director of the Instituto Cervantes, and to Isabel Pérez Gálvez, Cultural Manager, together with the entire team, for their invaluable support and for opening the doors of this prestigious institution to honour the memory of these extraordinary women.

May the legacy of the Mirabal Sisters continue to guide us toward a world that is safer, fairer, and more dignified for all.
