History

The town hosted a jornada on 16 and 17 April 2016 in honor of the Lesbian Visibility Day. The event was supported by Instituto de la Mujer de Extremadura and Extremadura Entiende, and had a motto of “Rural+: Soy libre, soy visible, soy lesbiana”.

Casar de Cáceres played host to a traveling exhibition in the early 2020s titled, “Stories of Resistance” organized by Fundación Triángulo Extremadura in collaboration with the Agencia Extremeña de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AEXCID). The exhibit told the stories of LGBTI people in Extremadura and the surrounding provinces fleeing persecution of homosexuality. One of the stories featured was that of a lesbian who fled El Salvador after her sexual orientation led to persecution in her local barrio near the capital.

PSOE Casar de Cáceres used their social media accounts in November 2017 to celebrate the national government policy instituted by Partido Popular that denied single women and lesbian women access to reproductive assistance being undone by the PSOE led government.
