Carmen Polo
Carmen Polo was the wife of Francisco Franco, the dictator of Spain from 1939 to 1975. She played a significant role in the regime's policies, particularly through her leadership of the Women's Protection Board, which oversaw the incarceration of women and girls in Catholic-run institutions during Franco's dictatorship. These centers aimed to 'rehabilitate' women deemed immoral or at risk, but survivors have recounted horrific abuses and mistreatment under the guise of moral correction.
