SUMMARY:REGISTER NOW: EU Regions Week Workshop – Engendering Equality in Europe's Regions
DESCRIPTION:Date: 14 October 2021 \nTime: 11:30 – 13:00 CET \nVenue: Online (via Zoom) \n  \nAn Equal Europe?\nA truly democratic Europe demands an equal voice for all. Indeed\, making “significant progress” towards a gender-equal Europe by 2025 is a key objective of the European Union\, and ‘achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls’ is enshrined as goal number five of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet\, at the current rate of progress\, the World Economic Forum estimates that it will take 107 years to achieve equal representation of men and women. This issue has a strong regional and local dimension\, with women making up only 30% of locally elected representatives. What can be done to accelerate this process of equalisation and overcome this persistent democratic deficit? \nShare your ideas for achieving Equality!\nAs part of the 2021 European Week of Regions & Cities\, the AER is delighted to bring you ‘Engendering Equality in Europe’s Regions.’  This interactive citizens’ debate will bring together the audience\, politicians and civil society to share ideas on how regions can help bring about a truly equal Europe.  \nSpeaking at our workshop will be: \n\nHelena Dalli\, European Commissioner for Equality\nCllr Andrew Gibson\, AER Vice President for Inclusion\, Diversity & Equal Opportunities\nCllr Alison Gilliland\, Lord Mayor of Dublin (IE)\, Member of the European Committee of the Regions\nRobert Biedroń\, Member of the European Parliament\, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality\n\nOur moderator will be Dr Angela-Unufe Kennedy\, CEO of the Migrant & Minority Disability Network Europe. \nDuring the debate\, AER Secretary General\, Christian Spahr will present fresh data from an opinion poll gathering the views of citizens across seven European countries. Their responses will shed new light on the barriers to entry young women face in our regions. You are invited to join our panellists for what promises to be a lively discussion on how to make our democratic systems more accessible and representative\, starting at the regional level. \nHow can I join?\nThis workshop will take place via Zoom. Registrations are open now with limited places available! \n \n
