According to Ana Juan, "the goal of this grant to harness scientific research and know-how to acknowledge the importance of women in Formentera society." The president and equality councillor of the Consell de Formentera stressed that the results of this study would serve as "a starting point to achieve a more egalitarian island."

In their project report, Grau and Mally highlight the problematic nature of the fact that "everyday work traditionally done by women has been invisible and unacknowledged" and describe their goal as "giving visibility to and acknowledging local women's economic activities which have been key to progress." This project will mainly document practices involving natural resources like water, land and animals; agriculture; fishing; livestock; tourism; care and parenting.
