La violencia contra las mujeres es una de las principales amenazas que aún tienen que afrontar las mujeres en nuestras sociedades. Los feminicidios implican la muerte y, así, constituyen la forma más extrema e irreversible de esta violencia. Este artículo muestra los Feminicidios ocurridos en el Estado Español en la última década. Se hacen visibles a través de la herramienta online AREA de visualización interactiva de información. Con estas visualizaciones se busca promover el análisis y la sensibilización social y política sobre la violencia contra las mujeres. De este modo, los casos de feminicidio pueden ser visualizados en pictogramas y reflexionados de una forma simple, accesible, pero inquietante. Los resultados muestran cómo en la pasada década los feminicidios no han cesado. Cada semana, aproximadamente, dos mujeres han sido asesinadas por un hombre muy cercano. Ello tiene consecuencias fatales para las mujeres, pero también para sus hijos y el conjunto de la sociedad. ; ABSTRACT: Violence against women is one of the main threats that women face in our societies. Feminicide involves death and thus constitutes the ultimate and irreversible form of this violence. This article shows the feminicides in the Spanish State in the last decade. These become visible through the on-line interactive tool AREA. These vizualisations seek to promote the analysis and social and political awareness of violence against women. Thus, cases of feminicide can be displayed in pictograms in a simple, accessible, but disturbing manner. The results show that in the past decade feminicides did not stop. Each week, about two women have been murdered by a man very close to them. Thus results in fatal consequences for women, but for their children and the society as a whole as well.

In the context of growing interest in sexual dissidence, academic and social movements are discussing homonationalism as the combination of tolerance towards lesbians and gays, racism and nationalism in a neoliberal globalised world. In this article we aim to quantitatively compare European nation states on homonationalist values using data collected through the European Value Study (2008-2010), through correlations and cross tabulation analysis. We ask to what extent homonationalism is reflected in the values of Europeans and if there is any difference among European countries. The results indicate that homonationalism is not reflected in the values of all Europeans. Those who are more tolerant to homosexuality tend to be less racist and nationalist. However, our results confirm the existence of groups of people in western European countries who combine tolerance to LGB people, racism and nationalism and consequently must be qualified as homonationalists.

Service learning (SL) is growing in our universities and in Spain. However, still much action and research are needed with a gender perspective. This article aims to evaluate an SL project that consisted of workshops in schools on gender and technology. We evaluated the experience with a mixed-methods approach and a gender perspective. This includes qualitative self-reports of 19 university students of sociology of gender as well as quantitative surveys completed by the 284 school students and 13 of their teachers. Our results indicate a great satisfaction among university students as well as the schools. This SL experience helped our university students to acquire specific knowledge regarding gender and social issues as well as several skills, especially communication, organization, empathy, critical thinking, and social and gender awareness and responsibility. Therefore, we conclude that such experiences show a great potential for learning as well as for social and gender transformations.

Yes, we fuck! (2015) is a documentary that seeks to portray the sexuality of people with functional diversity that focuses on their empowerment and critiques ableism. Its filming has helped to generate alliances between Spanish activist groups, which have been named Alianzas Tullido-Transfeministas (Crip-Queer Alliances). Based on a research project that combined traditional and digital ethnography, this article reflects on how these crip-queer alliances have been constructed. First, we present a genealogy that contextualizes key events and explains their origins. Second, we analyse the construction process of the alliances, from queer to crip and vice versa, in order to reflect on the notions of intimacy that these alliances mobilize, while analysing their discourses and performances around the body, bonding, desire and sexuality. Finally, we explain the potential, as well as the difficulties and challenges, of these alliances. We conclude that they have followed their own situated process, where activists bring into play their bodies, emotions and intimacies and thus generate enormous potential for political action that questions ableism and heteropatriarchy.

El mercado laboral tecnológico, donde las mujeres son minoría,representa una oportunidad para el empleo en España. Este trabajoanaliza los datos de la Encuesta de Población Activa (EPA) respecto a lapoblación ocupada en el sector tecnológico. En primer lugar, se analiza lasegregación de género de la población ocupada según sectoreseconómicos y, en segundo lugar, las características de empleo de lasmujeres ocupadas en el sector tecnológico. Los resultados indican quelas mujeres disponen de buenas expectativas laborales en este sector,pero también indican que sufren un mayor riesgo de sobrecualificación, loque sugiere la persistencia de factores de discriminación. Por último, lasmujeres expresan mayor preocupación que sus colegas hombresrespecto a las excesivas jornadas laborales, lo que plantea la necesidadde afrontar un cambio estructural en las organizaciones.
