Crema de Limon

Essay fragment from the She Migrator series

The women in my life are leaving Catalonia after decades of resistance, moving from place to place, exorbitant rents, job difficulties, and seeking solitude when they suffer discrimination.

Some are expectant mothers, others grandmothers; therefore, people we tend to protect and whose comfort in other cultures we ensure...normally, or conforming to the laws.

Neurodivergent women face hardship in many places. We have all left for political reasons and in search of human treatment, a place where our rights are respected and where there is the possibility of raising future generations, in peace. It's not about migrant women adapting, but about society being capable and educated enough to welcome them and make them feel safe.

Attacking immigrant women, ridiculing them, cutting them off from communication, not ensuring their medical care, and exploiting them is alarming, especially given all the efforts being made toward integration.

Neurodivergent women, pacifists, people interested in the culture of their host country, capable of holding a conversation on any Spanish or Catalan cultural or historical topic, are being expelled from the city, and that is extremely strange.

Conforming to the European inclusion planning, the objective is to include women in Spain, not just brag about it.

This essay fragment is titled Crema de Limon, not Lemon Curd, because the immigrant women I write about, who are being kicked out of the city, know about international culinary history. This article makes Spain the advantage of referring to the original receipt, implicit publicity, and branding support. What does the host country do for us? Why is there no implicit reciprocity?
