    EWL-Asylum Aid Practical Advocacy Guide on Gender and Asylum (November 2007)

    Posted on 10 November 2007 |

    Women’s experiences of political activities and persecution may differ from those of men.

Without integrating a gender perspective throughout the asylum process, the adherence to a male adult (...) Read more

    In 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women, all Member States of the European Union made commitments to address the issue of violence against women. They also agreed that together as the European Union, they shared responsibility for this issue and correspondingly would develop European strategies to combat violence against women. The European Women’s Lobby (EWL) carried out an evaluation of Member States progress one year following the 4th World Conference on Women in which it emerged (...) Read more

    During 2005, we in EWL, along with millions
    of women all over the world, were happy
    to celebrate one of the great achievements
    of the global women’s movement, the 10th
    anniversary of the Beijing Platform for

    Goals, brought us face to face with some of the
    very harsh realities of women’s lives in Europe
    and globally. This (...) Read more

    The handbook may be used as a resource for writing, for education, for work with women and men who wish to combat trafficking and to curb the growth of the sex industry, whether locally or globally. It can also be used as an information resource for those dealing with media – many of whom fail to focus on the essential ‘ demand ’ factor, preferring instead to keep their gaze on the woman in prostitution or provide a partisan voice for those who promote the alleged “ right to prostitute ” and (...)

    As I look back on the achievements of the European Women’s Lobby in 2003, I am
    struck by the sheer dedication and determination of all of the members of EWL
    and of the Secretariat in moving forward the agenda of equality between women
    and men in Europe. During 2003 we extended our network to reach hundreds of
    women’s non-governmental organisations in the accession countries, welcoming
    three new national co-ordinations into membership of EWL from Hungary,
    Latvia, Bulgaria. We began a major (...) Read more
