Join the European Women’s Lobby 50/50 Campaign

In 2009, Europeans will elect a new European Parliament and a new European Commission will be appointed. These elected and nominated persons are going to shape our future in Europe, and the “50/50 Campaign for Democracy” aims to ensure that women and men are equally represented among them.

Many prominent persons from across Europe have already given their wholehearted support to the EWL 50/50 Campaign. Now we invite YOU to be part of our efforts too!

If you think that women and men should be equally represented in the EU institutions, SIGN NOW and TAKE ACTION!
