Міжнародний жіночий день відзначається щорічно 8 березня, щоб вшанувати досягнення жінок і привернути увагу до прав жінок. Це нагода підвищити рівень обізнаності про такі питання, як гендерна рівність, репродуктивні права, боротьба з насильством та жорстоким поводженням з жінками. Рівність між жінками і чоловіками завжди була однією з основних цінностей і цілей Європейського Союзу, але поставлена мета все ще не досягнута повністю.

Як ЄС бореться за права жінок

Всяка година на 8 март отбелязваме Международния ден на жената. С него припомняме постиженията на жените и необходимостта от защита на техните права. Празникът е и повод да обърнем внимание на въпроси като равенството между половете, репродуктивните права и борбата с насилието и малтретирането на жени. Равенството между мъжете и жените винаги е било една от основните ценности и цели на Европейския съюз. Постигнати са успехи, но има още много над какво да се работи.

Борбата на Европейския съюз за правата на жените

Kansainvälistä naistenpäivää vietetään vuosittain 8. maaliskuuta. Silloin juhlitaan naisten saavutuksia ja muistutetaan naisten oikeuksista. Naistenpäivä tarjoaa tilaisuuden kiinnittää huomiota sukupuolten tasa-arvoon, lisääntymisoikeuksiin ja naisiin kohdistuvan hyväksikäytön ja väkivallan torjuntaan. Sukupuolten tasa-arvo on aina ollut yksi Euroopan unionin tärkeimmistä arvoista ja päämääristä. Tavoitetta ei ole kuitenkaan vielä täysin saavutettu.

EU:n työ naisten oikeuksien hyväksi

8. marca praznujemo mednarodni dan žena, s katerim vsako leto obeležimo dosežke žensk in opozorimo na njihove pravice. To je tudi priložnost za ozaveščanje o enakosti spolov, reproduktivnih pravicah in boju proti zlorabi žensk in nasilju nad njimi. Enakost med moškimi in ženskami je že od nekdaj ena od temeljnih vrednot in ciljev Evropske unije, vendar je še vedno nismo v celoti uresničili.

Boj Evropske unije za pravice žensk

International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8 to recognise women’s achievements and shine a spotlight on women’s rights. It is an occasion to raise awareness of issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and the fight against violence and abuse towards women. Equality between women and men has always been one of the European Union’s core values and objectives, but this goal has still not been fully achieved.

EU’s fight for women’s rights

8. ožujka obilježava se Međunarodni dan žena kako bi se odalo priznanje postignućima žena i skrenula pozornost na ženska prava. Prilika je to za razgovor o pitanjima kao što su rodna ravnopravnost, reproduktivna prava i suzbijanje nasilja nad ženama. Ravnopravnost žena i muškaraca temeljna je vrijednost i cilj Europske unije koji još nije u potpunosti ostvaren.

Europska unija u borbi za prava žena

Ogni anno, l'8 marzo si celebra la Giornata internazionale della donna per riconoscere le conquiste delle donne e puntare i riflettori sui loro diritti. È anche un'occasione per sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica su temi come l'uguaglianza di genere, i diritti riproduttivi e la lotta contro la violenza e gli abusi nei confronti delle donne. La parità tra donne e uomini è da sempre uno dei valori e degli obiettivi fondamentali dell'Unione europea, anche se non è stato ancora pienamente realizzato.

The first act of a new European Parliament is to elect its President. Candidates for the Presidency may be proposed either by a political group or by a minimum of 38 MEPs . The election is held by secret ballot. To be elected, a candidate must win an absolute majority of the valid votes cast, i.e. 50% plus one.

If no candidate is elected at the first ballot, the same or other candidates may be nominated for a second round of voting under the same conditions. This can be repeated at a third round if necessary, again with the same rules.

If no-one is elected at the third ballot, the two highest-scoring candidates in that round proceed to a fourth ballot, where the one receiving the greater number of votes wins. (Should there be a tie at this stage, the older candidate is declared the winner).

Election of the President of the European Parliament

On 3 July 2019, David Sassoli is elected with 345 votes as the new President of the European Parliament.

He is an Italian politician and journalist. He is a member of the Democratic Party and serves in the European Parliament since 2009.

On 1 July 2014 Sassoli was elected Vice-President of the European Parliament with 393 votes, making him the second most voted Socialist candidate. In 2019, Sassoli was re-elected again in the European Parliament, with 128,533 votes.

Almost one in six people in the EU aged 15 and over lives with some kind of disability. As the population ages, this number is expected to rise significantly.

The Commission's European Disability Strategy 2010-2020, adopted in 2010, provides guidance for implementing the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), to which the EU is a party.

Key products and services, such as smartphones, ATMs, ticketing machines and banking services, will be made more accessible to people with disabilities. 80 million people in the EU live with a disability.

#EUelections2019 - Persons with disabilities

In March 2021, the European Commission adopted the Strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities 2021-2030. The Strategy builds on the results of the previous European Disability Strategy 2010-2020, which paved the way to a barrier-free Europe and to empower persons with disabilities so they can enjoy their rights and participate fully in society and economy.

Despite the progress made in the past decade, persons with disabilities still face considerable barriers and have a higher risk of poverty and social exclusion.

The objective of this Strategy is to progress towards ensuring that all persons with disabilities in Europe, regardless of their sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age or sexual orientation enjoy their human rights, have equal opportunities, equal access to participate in society and economy, are able to decide where, how and with whom they live, move freely in the EU regardless of their support needs and no longer experience discrimination.

The EU and its Member States are committed to improving social and economic situation of disabled people building on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and on the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. The European Union and all its Member States are party to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
