Madrid Pride 2022: One of Europe’s most important Pride parades is celebrated in the capital of Spain From July 1st to Sunday July 10th 2022 LGBTQI+ people are discriminated against in the labour market, in schools and in hospitals, mistreated and disowned by their own families. They are singled out for physical attack – beaten, sexually assaulted, tortured and killed. In some 77 countries, discriminatory laws criminalize private, consensual same-sex relationships – exposing individuals to the risk of arrest, prosecution, imprisonment — even, in at least five countries, the death penalty. Together, people are standing up and fighting for a world free of poverty, racism, sexism, ableism and all forms

She took this opportunity and transformed her shop into the reference shop in Madrid for costumes and shoes for dancing. And she started to produce ballet shoes. The only mistake
