Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and respect for all.
RELATED PROJECTS
@nclusion
Today, the ever-growing migrant population has become an inseparable part of the EU society. While refugees and non-EU migrants already face higher risks of social exclusion, those in the LGBTQI+ community are even more vulnerable. As a result, @nclusion aims to improve sensitization towards LGBTQI+ migrants by fostering cooperation between local authorities, LGBTQI+ organizations, and migrant organizations.
Diversity of Voices
EU Diversity Voices: Amplifying Europe's LGBTQ+, Minority, Women and the Unheard Voices
The project celebrates the EU's achievements in human rights, promoting awareness of conventions and treaties that advance women’s empowerment, LGBTQ+ rights, minority inclusion, and gender equality while addressing hate speech.
Voices of Change
The Voices Of Change project aims to engage young girls, especially those with a migratory background, in democratic participation by establishing a European Consultative Body for Migrant Girls Civic Engagement. By involving both migrant and local girls, the project seeks to promote cultural understanding and respect while increasing awareness of rights and EU values. The project aims to strengthen democratic participation, communicate concerns to policymakers, and enhance the operational capabilities of the consultative body.
U-POWER
Frauen machen 52% der europäischen Gesamtbevölkerung aus, aber nur ein Drittel der Selbständigen in der EU und der Existenzgründer. Die Gründung eines Unternehmens oder die Entscheidung, sich selbständig zu machen, scheint ein eher männliches Vorrecht zu sein, und die Prognosen zeigen, dass die bereits bestehenden geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und insbesondere beim Unternehmertum durch die COVID-19-Pandemie noch verstärkt werden.
