DEBATE. EU aid ministers will decide on the Union's global response to the corona pandemic. However, communication from the EU lacks the gender perspective so far. Gender equality is mentioned once, women twice.
Together with 23 other rights organizations, MyRight calls on the government to stand up so that EU efforts take better account of the consequences for gender equality.
The outside world then published an article in which the debate article is mentioned and addressed.
Below you will find links to the articles.
