Patriarchy is a real thing. The more you have to give to society, the harder it is. Check out this conversation with founder of the @DLIIorg mother of 4, policy influencer with decades of experience from Brussels to Washington, and my inspiration Cheryl M. Van Dyck @LightsEurope

16/16 Mic drop. @vonderleyen: "If it matters to Europeans, it matters to Europe [...] Once again – this is Europe's moment to answer the #callofhistory. Long live Europe." #callofHERstory #feminist #soteu #EU #EU2024BE state-of-the-union.ec.europa.eu/index_en

15/16 And now the baton is passed to my adopted nation, #Belgium. As a committed #feminist our Prime Minister @AlexanderDeCroo will no doubt continue to heed the Call of #Herstory! @vonderleyen @helenadalli @verajourova @belgiumeu @hadjalahbib #feminist #soteu #EU #EU2024BE

14/16 Answering that call. Again. This is where I wax romantic about my love of the #EuropeanUnion. They say the converted are the most militant. Guilty. @EU_Justice #ruleoflaw #democracy #values #genderequality #womensrights commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-p…

13/16 More #war. More displaced women and children. We cannot shrink from the responsibility of caring for them. This is Europe answering the call of #HERSTORY! @vonderleyen #feminist #soteu #EU #migration #asylum #humantrafficking home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/migra…

12/16 This narrative is tragic + cannot be amplified enough. Kudos to Pres @vonderLeyen for making heart of #SOTEU the story of #VictoriaAmelina: #refugee #mother #womanjournalist and #victim of #maleperpetratedviolence in #Ukraine! Slav zhinki! #SlavaUkraini #aguantaucraina

11/16 Women are disproportionately impacted by #climatechange as captured in @g20org #India #NewDelhiLeadersDeclaration with hat-tip to @w20org! Tackling any issues on the #displacement continuum will benefit women. #climatechange #mitigation #migration g20.org/content/dam/gt…

10/16 What follows deserves a big #shoutout to @g20org + @w20org #India for an agreement that underscores this historic moment for #EUIndia #geopolitical + #economic relations (and my fave picture from this year's #G20Summit). #EUIndiaEconomicCorridor theguardian.com/world/2023/sep…

9/16 Cue #AI discussion & #EU leadership determining global #techpolicy based on #humanrights. #AIguidelines are critical since women are humans(!) +at greater risk of #AIThreats: #discrimination #harassment #violence #jobsecurity... europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headli…

8/16 Progress on making #digital #safer & more respecting of #citizensrights benefits women who are biggest target of #gbv & harassment in physical +digital spaces. #DMA #DSA + #IstanbulConvention accession under @vonderleyen are #feminist wins. #SOTEU digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/di…

7/16 Not a subject-matter take per se but a #fistpump for VDL amplifying the work of #ChristineLagarde @ECB President and another #womeninleadership icon! @vonderleyen #feminist #soteu #herstory

6/16 Proportion of #EU employed women trails men by 11%. @w20org keeps fighting for @g20org nations to deliver on #25x25 Brisbane Targets to shrink by 25% the #gendergap in #labourmarket participation by 2025. G20 #NDLD reaffirms G20 commitment to this. commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-p…

5/16 And @vonderleyen mentions #youth and #NEETS, who are both more likely to be women. Yes, in the #EU #youngwomen are less likely than young men to leave home, get an #education, or hold down a job outside the home for money. #genderjobgap #stereotypes #Young_women_are_more_likely_to_neither_be_in_employment_nor_in_education_or_training_than_young_men" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ec.europa.eu/eurostat/stati…

4/16 Btw how cool is it that #VDL is member of the all-caps-acronym Club of Very Cool People like Brussels home-town favorite #JCVD... ??! #JCVDL @vonderleyen #feminist #soteu #herstory

3/16 Then #VDL expressly references #motherhood and the adverse impact on women of shouldering 75% of #carework in the #EU--often without recognition, benefits or compensation. #precariouswork #careeconomy #WorkLifeBalance euractiv.com/section/health…

2/16 Next we get the message that there's still more to do, especially on the topic of #genderbasedviolence. Of course. #istanbulconvention #gbv @vonderleyen #feminist #soteu #herstory coe.int/en/web/istanbu…

Our #CoHOD @roningirl shares #feminist takes on @EU_Commission Pres @vonderleyen #SOTEU 1/16 Within minutes, Mme La Présidente was talking about women, achievements for women & society delivered under her leadership, and about being a woman! eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…
