Workshop Restore and broaden the base for women’s human rights after Covid-19 in Europe

Soroptimist International Europe, SIE, organises and invites together with our seconding partners all full mem-bers of the European Women’s Lobby to our Issue Group Workshop.
At the workshop we will explore conclusions and recommendations built on answers to our survey on how to restore and broaden the base for women’s human rights. The width and number of answers show what impact Covid-19 has had on women’s rights and the status of gender equality in Europe. Members have ex-pressed their top three urgent issues and the financial situation. Analysis of the results will be presented at the workshop inviting all participants to contribute. The outcome and recommendations of the workshop aims at developing and reshaping the work carried out by the EWL to strengthen the capacity to restore and broaden the base for women’s human rights.
