Calling young women to represent EYWCA at EWL and EYF
The European YWCA is member of two European umbrella organisations. For both organisations we are looking now for new representatives on behalf of the EYWCA. In these positions you will take part at the General Assembly but you also have the opportunity to get involved in different task groups (for example violence against women, climate and feminism etc.) and you can be actively engaged in women issues across Europe.
It is a great opportunity to develop your experience and networks. Our current representatives shared their reflections in 2020 on being representatives and you can read this here
Also on this website you will find an interview with Pauline our current representative for the EWL.
You will receive support in the role.
European Women’s Lobby https://womenlobby.org
The largest umbrella organization of women’s associations is the European Women’s Lobby. Their core work is to promote women’s right and gender equality. The EWL has a consultative status at the Council of Europe and participates regularly in activities of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
As a representative of the EYWCA you can also get elected as a board member of the EWL.
The next General Assembly and elections will take place from 4th to 6th June 2021. Nominations to the Board are due by early May. So please keep these dates in mind.
