Monitoring the Impact of Legislation to Women, Open Letters and Consultations

23. 9. 2013

During the year 2012 we monitor legislation, especially the implications of social reforms on women. We have sent a number of open letters to the Prime Minister and to individual ministers or EU commissioners, e.g. in the matter of subsidy policy in 2013, non-transparent distribution of money from the European Social Fund, a proposal by Commissioner Viviane Reding to introduce quotas for companies, prosecute Hungarian doctor and midwife Agnes Gereb etc. . We provided information about the situation in the Czech Republic in joint publications, the European Women's Lobby: on the impact of the crisis and the cuts to status of Women, on the National reform Programme of the Czech government, which will be part of the EU strategy by 2020.
