Despite being a pioneering artist, Sonia was never given proper recognition among her peers. Her work is symbolic of the fight for gender equality that still persists today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gender equality is goal number five of the Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> established by the UN.

With that in mind, on April 19, 2021, we collaborated with the \u00aeForest Project and City Hall to plant trees in the <em>Parque de La Ventilla<\/em>, a park near the IE Tower.
