Building effective responses to cyber violence against women
The seminar seeks to share and deepen knowledge about and understanding of the issue of cyber violence and to inform the policies and practices required for its elimination.
Obstetric Violence: Towards new understanding and responses
Addressing gender-based violence has been an ongoing commitment of the European Union (EU). Currently, the European Commission ‘Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025’ identifies that ‘gender-based violence, in all its forms, remains under-reported and overlooked, both inside and outside the EU. The EU will do all it can to prevent and combat gender-based violence, support and protect victims of such crimes, and hold perpetrators accountable for their abusive behaviour’.
Women and the Media: Realising a Potential for Gender Equality
The Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 aims at realising the potential of the media, in that the media has ‘considerable say in shaping people’s beliefs, values and perception of reality, and are thus further key channels for changing attitudes and challenging stereotypes’. The Commission is committed to a number of actions to progress gender equality through this key sector.
