Iberdrola launches DestElla to empower women through sport in Mexico

Iberdrola, through its subsidiary in Mexico, Iberdrola Mexico, has presented DestElla, a programme that seeks to promote the growth and empowerment of women through sport, as part of its commitment to equity and inclusion.

"We are proud to present DestElla, an initiative that seeks to empower women and be an engine of change to move towards a fairer and more equitable world, where everyone can develop their full potential in different areas of life," said Katya Somohano, general manager of Iberdrola Mexico.

DestElla aims to increase girls' and young women's in sporting activities organised in schools and universities, improve female players' community by donating sports equipment and training gear, access to gyms, and to support high-performance athletes with resources for accommodation and living expenses at pre-competition training camps.

Iberdrola Mexico has other social programmes dedicated to women, such as Impulso STEM, which promotes learning scientific and technological careers, and ComunidadEs Igualdad, an initiative that aims to eliminate gender violence and reduce inequality gaps by raising awareness of human rights.
