Alicia Miyares Fernández

Alicia Miyares Fernández (born 30 April 1963) is a Spanish philosopher, feminist, researcher, and women's rights activists.

She has served as the spokesperson for several feminist organizations including anti-womb renting (Spanish: alquiler de vientres) No Somos Vasijas and Recav.

[8] Miyares Fernández has argued that the Spanish educational system has served to undermine women's rights by delaying equality.

[9] In 2017, she participated in a debate about womb renting in Spain and was quoted by El País as saying, "I think one of the strongest desires of people is to be parents.

There are real life dramas: women who do not have a uterus, who have suffered cancer, or the case of homosexual couples ... How can I not understand that frustration?

Hay verdaderos dramas vitales: mujeres que no tienen útero, que han sufrido cáncer, o el caso de parejas homosexuales... ¿Cómo no voy a entender esa frustración?

Cuando un varón piropea en ese sentido, está diciendo algo más, es: 'si yo quiero, me apropio de tu cuerpo)[3] In September 2018, thirty Spanish families were stuck in Kyiv, unable to repatriate children they had had using womb rental.

As the spokesperson for No Somos Vasijas, Miyares Fernández spoke out against their efforts to return with these children, claiming that these families were attempting to commit a legal fraud.

[5][8] That afternoon, attended the VI Jornadas Clara Campoamor de Fuenlabrada to further explain her feminist agenda ahead of the 2019 general elections.

[2][7] Miyares Fernández did her Philosophy Doctorate at the University of Oviedo on the presence of women in the Spanish government's elected roles.
