Towards this, the Embassy of Spain in partnership with Girls Voices Initiative (GVI) hosted at the residence of the Ambassador of Spain in Abuja, a press conference and film screening of the award winning Spanish filmmaker Itxaso Díaz during her visitation and award presentation in Abuja. Among other awards, Itxaso Díaz received the best short documentary award for “The Story of All of Us Women” at the WIFFEN 2022, the first Women’s International Film Festival in Nigeria.

The award film show at the Embassy told a unique and touching story which afforded guests including the members of press present an insight to the myriads of challenges comprising isolation, physical, financial, emotional/mental stress among others  caregivers (males and females) are faced with while taking care of the elderly, disable, children, sickly, vulnerable and other members of the family. The gathering also provided an opportunity of interaction, interview and photo sessions with the iconic and affable filmmaker, as attendees further learnt from her great works, sacrifices made and success stories and ongoing strives.

‘The call for global action and attention on caregivers care and comfortability is expedient now’

During her remarks at the occasion, Mrs. Diaz, a women development advocate and promoter, used the opportunity to call for a broader action and attention on caregivers who are oftentimes isolated, neglected, and depressed as they give most of their time attending to the needs and betterment of their dependants and others at the detriment of their own care and comfort.

Also speaking at the event, the Spanish Embassy Cultural Adviser and event’s facilitator, Mrs. Eva Barta Martin, urged women to take proper care of themselves even as they play the important and selfless roles of caregivers. For her attending and catering for the well-being of caregivers either they are paid for it or not should be a concern and responsibility for everyone.

She said that in this year entries there are over 3,000 film submissions from over 130 countries worldwide before this was narrowed to 200 and the emergence of the eventual winners of the categories. She hoped to further continue networking to improve the Festival’s quality of production and finding network to source funding for projects,
