EIGE's Brussels Liaison Officer, Sarah Cooke O'Dowd, joins the Council of Europe Conference on "Synergy for Change: civil society raising awareness on violence against women in a context of global challenges" in Budapest.
The conference is organized in the framework of the CoE multi-country programme to tackle violence against women, focusing on civil society organizations (CSOs)'s contribution in raising awareness and advocating to eliminate violence against women. Also, CSOs play a fundamental role in promoting gender equality in the current and persisting challenges, involving the digital dimension of VAW, AI, the gender backlash and other global issues.
EIGE joins the conversation presenting some highlights of its work, and moderates a Word Café session on burning issues to address to tackle gender backlash.
