Reveals on U-committees: How Corona and Women's Rights shape our lives!

Europa, EU - Am 21. May 2025 Central topics related to examination committees and gender equality in Europe are examined. A live broadcast that will take place on Thursday, May 22nd , is dedicated to the effects of these committees. The focus is particularly on the upcoming revelations on the Corona measures and the Pilnacek case, while the FPÖ is preparing for significant disclosures. This discussion is supplemented by the question of the actual consequences of such committees that also affect the image of women in Europe

Another aspect of the program will be the change in the image of women in Europe. This is about feminist demands and the debate about headscarf bans. The role of women and how this is defined in society are up for discussion. The topic will be particularly relevant in view of the recent timetable for women's rights that the EU Commission presented in May 2025.

The state of equality in Europe

The Equality of women and men is a fundamental value of the European Union, stipulated in the Roman contracts of 1957. Despite the constant efforts to combat gender-specific discrimination, the challenges are still present. 33% of women in the EU experience physical and/or sexual violence, while more than half are affected by sexual harassment.

The EU has recently taken important measures to improve the protection of women's rights. In May 2024, a guideline to combat violence against women and domestic violence was passed, and genital mutilation introduced as an independent criminal offense. Member States have until 14. June 2027 Time to implement this regulation into national law.

social challenges and the image of women

The upbringing of the next generation and responsibility for this are also discussed in the live discussion. Challenges in everyday school life, such as bans and lack of movement, as well as religious tensions raise questions about the responsibility of the parents, the state, school and society. The population is aware of this: According to polls, 44% of Europeans believe that women should mainly take care of household and family. These gender -specific prejudices hinder the equality of gender significantly.

In addition, the European Parliament recently took an important step towards political equality by making a resolution Farewell, which demands sexual and reproductive health rights as well as the right to a safe and legal termination. This demand for the decriminalization of the abortion in accordance with the WHO guidelines of 2022 illustrates the progress and the need to strengthen the rights of women in the EU.

Overall, the upcoming discussions will gain in importance when it comes to promoting equality of women and ensuring that progress not only named in politics, but also implemented in society.
