Paternalism, discrimination, contempt for her authority, questioning her jobs and abilities, sexual comments and comments about the physical, touching, public masturbation, obscene looks, harassment… A long list of librarians and librarians who suffer violence, especially by library users, but also by staff and external clients.
At Direct, the librarians have stressed that there is no effective protocol to respond to these situations, that there is no one in the libraries to act as an intermediary and that there is a lack of awareness among the teams. In addition to greater awareness and visibility, training has been requested for all workers, from a gender perspective, especially in decision-making spaces. From the leadership of the Barcelona library consortium they have responded that they are taking into account all these requests.
Feminized sector
In the public libraries of Barcelona, 70% of the employees are women, although all the positions of presidency, vice-presidency and management of the consortium are held by men.
