Raquel Pérez Benasco is in her last year of her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Law. She has been actively involved in her community through volunteering since 2015. This activity has helped her develop a great passion for the EU and moreover, she has become a big advocate for gender equality. Her curiosity and international mindset have motivated her in participating in various initiatives such as Erasmus+ training and youth exchanges and eventually founding the JEF section of the Canary Islands, Spain’s overseas region where she is from. She is also a board member in “Federación Mujeres Jóvenes” the biggest youth feminist organization in her country.
