Impact of the pandemic on gender equality in Europe

Although the pandemic caused damage to global society, some categories were affected more than others. Women in particular have been exposed to pressure from several sides, be it economic, family or health. The pandemic has also increased gender inequality, undermining the progress made on this issue in recent years.

This topic will be discussed and deepened in a joint online discussion: Kateřina Haring, President of the Czech-Moravian Association of Women Entrepreneurs and Managers (ČMAPM); Sandra Laugier, philosopher lecturer at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University in Paris; Massimiliano Mascherini, interim Director of the Social Policies of Eurofound (European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions). The debate is moderated by Alžběta Králová, founder and director of the Women‘s Business. The event is part of the Ideas Yard project, under the auspices of the EUNIC Prague cluster and funded by EUNIC Global funds. It is organized by the Italian Cultural Institute in Prague in cooperation with the French Institute and the Czech Centers in Prague.
