EU Women's Rights and Gender Equality


Every year the European Parliament celebrates International Women's Day with an event that brings together European and national MPs from parliamentary committees for equal opportunities. In 2013 the event will focus on the theme "Women's response to the crisis".

During the event three discussion panels are foreseen, focusing on the following topics:

- Financial and economic crisis and its effects on women: "wise women" - best practices from women-professionals
- Overcoming the crisis - Experiences and best practices from National Parliaments
- How can the EU support Member States in strengthening women's social and economic rights during the crisis?
