| Blog: Introducing women’s definitions of ‘gender empowerment’ within and beyond civil society organisations and (social) media in Europe. |
| LDE GMD Fellow Lore van Praag (EUR) pens a blog with Amal Miri & Kaya Klaver (University of Antwerp) about the different interpretations of the concept of gender empowerment. Despite the many steps that governments and civil society organizations are taking all over Europe, the (diverse) views of women themselves are not involved enough and (the interests of) certain groups such as people with a migration background are often forgotten. |
