The role of comprehensive feminist sexuality education in combating the sex trade and ensuring everyone understands power inequality and the true meaning of ‘freely given consent’ is more crucial than ever. #EndDemand #BrusselsCall

4 key lessons on gendered impacts of the #COVID19 pandemic: 1⃣ Care economy can't be sidelined 2⃣ Women are hit harder economically 3⃣ Services to respond to violence against women are essential services 4⃣ Women’s leadership & participation matter unwo.men/sr6v50BbMwB

We fight for safe, legal & affordable sexual and reproductive health care for all, also during the pandemic. We denounce the right-wing backlash restricting safe facilities, sex ed & LGBTI rights. All girls & women deserve to feel empowered to talk about/seek sexual health care!

Are we radical enough on the #GreenTransition? According to @AnnPettifor the answer is a clear NO! We need system change to address climate change; we may start by redressing finance ➡️ progressivepost.eu/debates/next-e… The Progressive Post

6 #ClimateAction decisions countries can make to recover better from #COVID19: Invest in green jobs. Don't bail out polluting industries. End fossil-fuel subsidies. Take climate risks into account in all financial & policy decisions. Work together. Leave no one behind.

Congratulations to @MaireadMcGMEP on her nomination as EU Commissioner! Very glad to see the efforts made by Ursula von der Leyen and the Irish gvt in proposing a woman & a man for the role: if European Parliament approves, we’ll have the first ever 50/50 EU Commission! #WomenForEurope

Congratulations to our Board Member ZitaGurmai! 😊💪

On average, women are paid 16% less than men. For women of colour, immigrant women & women with children, the difference is even greater. On Friday's first-ever #EqualPayDay, join UN Women in demanding equal pay for all. unwo.men/VVMM30ra1SX

Today is #InternationalEqualPayDay. The EU gender pay gap is still 16% & global gender pay inequality is likely to increase due to the economic fallout of COVID-19. We call for gender-sensitive labour market policies & binding EU measures to eliminate the gender pay gap by 2030.

Congratulations to our Board Member ZitaGurmai for being elected as her party Vice President! 💪

Croatia marks National Day for Elimination Violence against Women. On this day in 1999, during a divorce lawsuit at the Zagreb Municipal Court, former police officer Mato Oraškić killed his wife, judge and lawyer with a gun and seriously wounded the recorder.

CEE Gender Network stands with progressive forces in Poland fighting for human rights, women's reproductive rights and democracy. Poland's conservative ruling political class should be ashamed of itself making believe that they are a part of the democratic Europe.
