EWL: Act now for her future, commit to gender equality!
On the week of the International Women’s Day (8 March), the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) unveiled its Manifesto for the European Parliament elections 2014 "Act now for her future, commit to gender equality!".
Women and girls are half of Europe’s population, and are entitled to the same rights as men and boys. Achieving substantive equality between women and men, promoting women’s rights and empowering women should be a priority of the European Union (EU) and its Member States. Gender equality is an essential part of democracy, social justice, human rights and dignity. The European Parliament (EP) has the power and responsibility to create meaningful change towards equality for all, now and in the future.
