Symposium on Gender Equality - The Struggle for Gender Equality in Europe - A Story of Success and Ignorance
organized by Women’s Vision / Pax Romana Europe
This symposium has been initiated and finally organized by an international European group of women who felt that although the topic of Gender Equality has been on the agenda of individual European governments and EU presidencies for some time, and has been mentioned in various political and even ecclesiastical papers, nothing of real importance has happened by and large. Therefore Women’s Vision / Pax Romana Europe decided to invite men and women, who share their concern, to discuss gender topics together with experts.
