As part of international activities CWL President Jana Chržová and board member Jana S. Kavková attended Annual Conference / Assembly of the European Women's Lobby in Lisbon on 10 and 11 October 2014. The General Assembly EWL in Lisbon included strategic planning, elections to the bodies of EWL, performances project EWL Making Women's Social Entrepreneurship Visible in Europe, and the day before public events were held to report to the EWL Beijing + 20 summit. Jana S. K, also as a member of the board of the European Women's Lobby, participated in strategic planning with EIGE.

On 9 December 2014, the President of Czech Women's Lobby participated in a strategic meeting with EWL in Brussels to further unite steps for enforcing the abolitionist "policy" across the EU and to promote the Nordic model approach to prostitution in as many EU countries as possible. The meeting served both as the current briefing (development in some countries, specifically currently in Ireland), as well as a brainstorming session for outlining a plan for the next five years.
