The formal ceremony took place at the monument to Fray Antonio de Montesinos and drew cultural figures, education leaders and philatelists, as well as Insposdom Director Erick Guzmán Núñez and Santo Domingo Mayor Carolina Mejía. Guzmán Núñez described the issue as more than a collectible. “This postal release preserves Salomé Ureña’s memory and projects her legacy as a symbol of national identity,” he said, adding that the stamp also reinforces the state’s commitment to inclusive, high-quality education with a gender equity focus.
