European Movement Women's x YEM Women Networks Online Launch

As of the 2024 European Movement AGM, a motion was passed to establish a European Movement Women's network, a historic moment in our 75+ year history. We are delighted to invite you to the historic dual launch #1 of 2 of both the EM Women & YEM Women’s networks on Friday 7th March 6-7:45pm online, just before the official International Women’s Day.

Join us to celebrate the achievements of fantastic women across the Eurosphere, identify key priorities for women’s rights and meet other leaders from across the political spectrum. Hear from an incredible lineup of trailblazers, founders and chairs of women’s networks on the benefits of these spaces and come co-create our vision for the network(s) going forwards.
