Dones Mentores was founded in Barcelona by Lores L\u00f3pez in 2017. It is inspired by KVINFO Mentornetvaerk, a Danish programme and a benchmark institution with extensive international knowledge in mentoring with a gender perspective. In 2025, we obtained the MC Seal (Quality Mentoring), awarded by Spain\u2019s \u201cCoordinadora de Mentor\u00eda Social\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n In Catalonia<\/span><\/strong>, we work with the Generalitat (the regional Government), and we are present in several municipalities. Since 2017 we have implemented the mentoring program at the Care and Information Center (CAID), within the Women\u2019s Programme of the Hospitalet de Llobregat City Council. Since 2019 we have been implementing a project at Sant Feliu de Llobregat with the Women\u2019s Care and Information Service (SIAD), which will last through 2025. In 2020 we introduced the Dones Mentores model in the Madrid region<\/strong>. The San Fernando de Henares City Council was the first to commission us to build a mentoring network with a gender perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n In the Basque Country<\/strong>, together with Emakunde (Basque Women\u2019s Institute) and the Bizitu Elkartea women\u2019s association, we developed a pilot in 2022 to introduce this tool with a strong impact in the province of Bizkaia. Subsequently, we extended the training in mentoring with a gender perspective to the main associations of women survivors in Bizkaia, \u00c1lava and Gipuzkoa with the intention of creating the first network of mentors (Emakume Mentoreak) in Euskadi. <\/span><\/p>\n In Navarra<\/strong> we have provided mentoring training to Lunes Lilas and Esain, an Association of Resilient Women<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_color=”#ffffff” width=”100%” custom_padding=”117px||117px||true|false” bottom_divider_style=”asymmetric” bottom_divider_color=”#F7F7F7″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”2560px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#234F68″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ max_width=”800px” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Lores L\u00f3pez” image=”https:\/\/donesmentores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dones-mentores-equip-lores-lopez.jpg” image_icon_width=”240px” content_max_width=”1000px” module_class=”mgf_cola” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#234F68″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Director<\/strong><\/p>\n Lores is a jurist specializing in gender-based violence and equality, with two decades of experience in designing prevention strategies and in community work with a gender perspective.
