It is getting clearer every day that the ‘monster fund’ based on NRPPs would not bring any simplification and instead increase complexity at national level because of the many ropes tied around it.

🗺️ Globally, women represent only 22.9% of cabinet ministers.
While this figure is notably higher in some countries, #WomenInPolitics are still underrepresented worldwide.
Gender parity in politics is crucial for an equal future #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

I am very humbled by the cross-party support for my election as President of the European Committee of the Regions @EU_CoR.
The strength of the EU comes from being grounded in local realities.
It is our duty, our path as local leaders, to be the optimists of Europe.

What they say.
The Beijing Declaration is the world’s boldest plan for #GenderEquality, tackling jobs, peace, violence & power since 1995.
2025 marks #Beijing30, but we’re falling behind.
We must:
💪 Push harder
🗣️ Speak louder
✅ Act NOW

Migrant women contribute greatly to their countries of origin, transit, and destination.
Yet, many face gender-based discrimination at all stages of migration.
Migration policies must be gender-responsive to make migration an empowering journey for ALL.

🗣️ By breaking her silence about surviving sexual violence, she empowered millions and became the face of courage, dignity, and resilience.
Her message? Shame must change sides.

(UN)EQUAL PAY DAY: On average, women in the EU earn 12.7% less than men, a loss of 1.5 months’ salary per year.
From today until the end of the year, it’s as if women are working ‘for free’ for work of equal value.
