The organizers of a women’s running race in Spain have apologized after they were accused of sexism for giving the winner a food processor as a prize
. In a statement posted on Twitter, the Carrera de la Mujer said one of the sponsors for the Madrid race had gifted the food processor as a prize and that it is “aligned with our concept of promoting healthy values in women’s sporting and nutritional habits. “Promoting healthy nutrition and physical exercise are absolutely essential objectives for the Carrera de la Mujer,” the statement added. “With this product, men and women can cook unprocessed food in less time and in a simpler way.
“In any case, we accept the criticism, we reiterate our apologies if anyone has been offended and we promise to take measures to avoid this controversy in the future.” The apology came after Spain’s Secretary of State for Equality and Anti-Gender Violence, Ángela Rodríguez Pam, criticized the prize on Twitter. “In the Carrera de la Mujer, they gave the winner a Thermomix and to the rest 0% [fat] products,” Rodríguez Pam wrote.
