The Event will address outcomes of the 2014 European Parliament elections from a gender perspective and aims to evaluate the impact of the Parity Democracy and EWL 50/50 Campaign, which aims at reaching Parity Democracy quantitatively and qualitatively.
Newly elected MEPs, governmental bodies, academics, NGOs and journalists will find answers to questions like: How to ensure elected women are in top positions within the European Parliament? How to mainstream gender equality within the Media? How to ensure the diversity of women within politics?
The keynote speech will be held by the US speaker Jessica N. Grounds, Director of Women Ready for Hillary, who served as the Executive Director of Running Start. She is also the founder and principal strategist for Solid Grounds Strategy, a firm she created to consult women candidates who run for office for the first time.
