On 7 March 2019, FEMM, in collaboration with the Directorate for
Relations with National Parliaments, will organise an
Inter-parliamentary Committee Meeting on "Women's Power in Politics".
The event will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels, from
09.00 to 12.30.
The topic chosen this year is at the heart of women's rights because it
defines women's capacity to participate and decide on the collective
governing of our societies. Equality between women and men is one of the
objectives of the European Union. Over time, legislation, case law and
changes to the Treaties have helped shore up this principle and its
implementation in the EU. The European Parliament has always been a
fervent defender of gender equality and this event wants to highlight
the importance of women presence in politics particularly in the
framework of the coming European elections.
