International women´s day 2015

6. 3. 2015

“The equality of women and men?... often just on the paper not in the reality,” reminder from feminists on International women´s day.

”Liven statistics” showing scant representation of women in decision-making positions today could see people on Jungmann Square in Prague on 6 March 2015. Happening hosted by actress Simone Babčáková was organized by Czech Women's Lobby in collaboration with the Forum 50% on the occasion of International Women's Day. Czech Women's Lobby used this innovative way to urge the Czech government to take concrete steps to remedy - to pass a law introducing quotas on candidate lists and encourage Directive of the European Commission on the representation of women in the supervisory boards of companies. In addition to this happening also other events related to gender equality and women´s rights under the title “Celebrate with us IWD” took place in Prague and Brno.
