In the context of the European Gender Equality Week, the European Economic and Social Committee is organising a thematic debate during the meeting of its Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment (NAT) on 13 November 2024 (14:30 - 16:00 CET), focusing on the disproportionate impact of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss on women and girls, and the critical role they play in advocating for solutions.
Whilst several actions have been taken at EU level in favour of gender equality, inequalities still prevail, with Roma women facing additional challenges as a result of poverty and social exclusion. The hearing will discuss measures that could help empower Roma women and how their participation in employment, which is still very low, can be reinforced. It will address the question of early marriages, the extent to which this is still predominant amongst the Roma community and measures how this phenomenon can be curbed.
