Three and a half years after the EWL seminar ‘Equal Rights. Equal Voices. Migrant women in the European Union’, migrant women's organisations are meeting again in Brussels on 18 June 2010 to officially launch the European Network of Migrant women.

The European Network of Migrant Women calls on the ministers attending the 4th Ministerial Conference on the Integration of Immigrants in Zaragoza, Spain on 15-16 April 2010 to look particularly at the situation of migrant women as key social and economic actors in the integration of immigrants.

The Czech Women's Lobby is inviting you to the conference “WOMEN IN ARMED CONFLICTS AND PEACE PROCESSES: Conference on the Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, and 1820 on Immediate Cessation of Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones”. It will take place on December 8th from 9:30am to 4:30pm at Kaunický Palace in Prague. One of the important speakers is a member of the Swedish organisation Kvinna till Kvinna Eva Zillén, and Rada Boric, Croatian academic and expert on violence on women in conflict.

While this concept might seem completely normal to most kids, Czech children may still find the idea shocking, at least according to ECG. Within a broader effort to break that stereotype they have produced special work sheets to help teachers in kindergartens and primary schools address the issue.
