Dr. Aznar Martínez collaborates extensively with researchers across Spain and internationally, particularly with colleagues at Blanquerna. Her work has significant implications for educational policy and practice, developing evidence-based interventions for gender equality education and sexual violence prevention that directly influence how schools implement gender equity practices.
