Call for Action for women's rights and equal participation in Euro-Mediterranean region
2010-03-08
On the 8th March 2010, the centenary of International Women’s Day, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) – representing 76 human rights organisations located across the region – regrets the limited progress being made to protect and promote women’s rights and gender equality in the region.
EMHRN stresses three key problems:
- The widespread discrimination against women in the legislation of southern and eastern Mediterranean countries.
- Underrepresentation of women in political life and in public decision-making bodies
- Widespread gender-based violence in all its forms and manifestations in the entire Euro-Mediterranean region
