The follow-up to the Platform for Action adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women was the subject of a series of oral questions put to the Commission and the Council within the context of the European Parliament debate on International Women's Day, 8 March 2005. 2.5. European Women’s Lobby and the Empowerment of Women With more than 2500 member organisations, the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) is the largest network of women’s organisations in the European Union (EU). The EWL promotes the realisation of equality between women and men in all areas. The EWL primarily aims to influence the institutions of the EU but also works with the Council of Europe and the United Nations. The most important aspect of the activities of the EWL in the 2004-2009 period is related to its growth: in 2009, the EWL comprises member organisations in the 30 EU Member States and accession countries (compared to 15 national coordinations in 2004) and 20 Europe-wide member organisations. This has improved diversity and brought new perspectives and concerns, which are reflected in the priorities adopted by the EWL. In 2004-2009, the EWL monitored the most important political and legislative developments related to equality between women and men at European and international level, including the meetings of the United Nations (UN) Commission on the Status of Women (follow-up of the Beijing process), the adoption and implementation of the European Commission Roadmap for Gender Equality, the 2004 Intergovernmental Conference, the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs and the adoption of various European directives. The EWL also developed its work in relation to the diversity of women, in particular regarding the need to both give a voice to migrant women’s organisations at European level and to integrate a gender perspective into immigration, integration, asylum and anti-discrimination policies as well as the need to tackle multiple discrimination in anti-discrimination legislation. Another important part of the EWL's work is to cooperate with other women’s rights or civil society organisations at European and international level on a wide range of issues and to play a strong role in contributing to civil dialogue at EU level. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 30 ANNEX DG G EN
2.5.1. EWL activities related to the strategic objectives of the Beijing Platform for Action Women and the economy / Women and poverty The EWL followed many issues relating to the broad area of women’s economic independence, which encompasses employment, reconciliation of private and professional life, the gender pay gap, women and poverty and social policy. Weaving the gender equality thread throughout these remains one of the key challenges for the EWL. The 2006 “Who Cares?” campaign of the EWL focused on the provision of care services for all dependants and was followed in 2008-2009 by intensive work on new European measures related to maternity leave and parental leave. The need for the integration of a strong gender equality perspective in the work on poverty and social exclusion, including the annual European roundtables and preparation for the European Year against Poverty in 2010 was a permanent focus of the EWL work. Education and training of women Education is one of the gaps that the EWL has been highlighting in European gender equality legislation. In 2004-2009, the EWL produced education material for its members on issues such as gender budgeting, asylum, violence against women. Women and health – the EWL actions focused mainly on sexual and reproductive health and rights – see women’s human rights section. Violence against women (VAW) The EWL enlarged its Observatory on Violence against Women (created 1997), now comprising 42 experts from 30 countries and set up a specific branch working on all forms of violence against women, the Policy Action Centre on VAW (EPAC VAW). These are permanent monitoring and advocacy structures promoting measures to combat VAW and protecting women victims at national, and in particular at European level where no common policy exists. The EWL also undertakes many activities to fight against trafficking in women and sexual exploitation of women, including a transnational project in 14 countries in 2006 and the coordination of a large project in the Nordic Baltic Region (2005-2008), aiming at setting standards and developing assistance for women victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 31 ANNEX DG G EN
