On 27th May 11:00-12:30pm - EUD, in collaboration with the National Federation of France for the Deaf (FNSF), will hold a seminar on 'Women in Politics - Deaf Women in Political Decision Making'.

Recognising that women’s equal political participation and representation in decision-making is the key to achieving equality and ensuring that policies affecting women consider various perspectives, including the perspectives of deaf women. We will learn from deaf female leaders and former female Member of the European Parliament who will share their experiences and explain why the inclusion of deaf women at all levels – in parliaments, governments and civil society is essential when ensuring that rights of deaf women and girls are protected and fulfilled.
