Ale Rambar, Costa Rican multidisciplinary visual artist and architect.
I had the honor of accompanying, through my artwork, the Gender Equality Award ceremony held at the Delegation of the European Union in Costa Rica. In its seventh edition, the award recognized Fundación PANIAMOR for more than three decades of committed work defending the rights of children and adolescents and promoting gender equality through everyday actions that create real change.
It was a meaningful gathering alongside Ambassador Pierre-Louis Lempereur, Deputy Ambassador Galina Karamalakova, ambassadors of EU Member States, and members of the diplomatic corps.
My warmest congratulations to Fundación PANIAMOR on this well-deserved award. I’m deeply grateful to the European Union for the opportunity to support, from the arts, an initiative that places human rights and gender equality at its core.
