2008, European
Year of the Intercultural Dialogue – With Women?
2008
is the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (EYID), which aims to inspire
Europeans to celebrate their own culture, connect with others in
Equality between women and men does not appear in the Decision, although it certainly is crucial in relation to the eight topics chosen to illustrate the Intercultural Dialogue: culture, education, migration, minorities, religion, multilingualism, the workplace and youth. EWL believes that a gender approach should be transversal to every topic to guarantee the participation of women, ensuring their own concerns and needs are taken into account when developing actions. Moreover, the Intercultural Dialogue can be a good mechanism to voice, expose and condemn those practices that violate women’s rights and silence women’s voices. Intercultural dialogue and diversity of culture should be promoted in a way that respects women’s rights. As a result, intercultural dialogue has an increasingly important role to play in fostering European identity and citizenship. Please, click here for more information.
