Final Dissemination Event

The EP elections this year have seen a small improvement in the number of women in the Parliament. On the current rate of progression, it will take another 50 years to get parity between men and women in politics. Despite the improvements in addressing inequality between men and women over the past 30-40 years, there is still a long way to go in realizing real equality. Women still face glass ceilings, pay discrimination, gender stereotyping, violence and sexual exploitation and the overwhelming bulk of care responsibilities. Getting more women into politics is part of the process of making more headway in realizing the goal of gender equality. 

What is being done at national and European levels to promote this issue? That is the subject of the final event of a project that brought together women from 13 Member States. (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and UK) 

The workshop will have:

• Case studies of actions taken to promote more women in politics in several member states 
•  inputs from women who are active in politics from several EU member states highlighting their experiences and what needs to happen 
• inputs from new women MEP’s
