EWL - European Women's Lobby
EWL 50-50 Campaign:
No Modern European Democracy without Gender Equality
In
view of the European elections taking place in June 2009 and given that a
number of EU top jobs will be filled in the course of the year 2009, including the
presidents of the European Parliament and of the European Commission, the
European Women’s Lobby is launching a European-wide cross-party Campaign with
the support of Margot Wallström, Vice President of the European Commission and
the ministerial chair of the Council of Women World Leaders
The EWL campaign aims at
putting pressure on political parties and decisions makers to make sure that women are equally represented in political
parties’ lists for the 2009 European Parliament elections, in the next European
Commission and in all top political posts.
The
first step of the EWL campaign is to gather the support of high level
personalities from all European countries, political parties and all walks of
life for the Campaign Call for Action. The EWL is therefore in the process of
collecting support from personalities for its Campaign prior to the launch in
September 2008. If you want to support
the EWL Campaign, please contact Cécile Gréboval at the EWL Secretariat: greboval@womenlobby.org
