#129 FEPS Talks "IWD 2023: Taking stock of womens rights in Europe"
On the occasion of international women\u2019s day, this podcast takes a closer look at the recent policy developments on the EU gender equality agenda. Taking stock of the persisting barriers in the way of gender equality and women\u2019s rights, Laeticia Thissen \u2013 FEPS Policy Analyst on Gender Equality \u2013 engages in conversation with Swedish MEPs Evin Incir. Whilst identifying the remarkable set of landmark breakthroughs on major EU policies for gender equality, the discussion also reveals that the road towards a genuine \u201cUnion of Equality\u201d is still a rocky one. Amongst the current issues addressed, the podcast touches upon internal policy developments such as the Commission\u2019s directive proposal on combatting violence against women and domestic violence but also applies a feminist lens to external affairs such as the situation of women in Iran.
