THE #SOCIALPILLAR CHALLENGE

Who's in charge of this challenge?

Libera is a network of associations, social cooperatives, movements and groups, schools, unions, dioceses, parishes, and scout groups, involved in a commitment not only against mafias, corruption, crime and those who feed them, but also strongly ‘for’: for social justice, the search for truth, the protection of rights, transparent politics, a democratic legality based on equality, a living and shared memory, and for a citizenship that lives up to the spirit and hopes of the Constitution.

What is the expected contribution?

  • Promote and reinforce the participation of women and girls in the EU Parliament initiatives.
  • Engage CSOs in the EU Parliament initiatives.
  • Integrate the female voice in a multidisciplinary fashion in European policies
    (environment, social policies, digital transformation, health, etc.) 
  • Make arrangements for the WISE4ALL network to participate in the “Conference on future of Europe” and at the “Recovery Fund” debates with a gender approach.
  • Promote the WISE4All charter of values and the European values it represent.
  • Raise awareness about the role and democratic values of the European Parliament as the voice of EU citizens and boost a deeper engagement with them.
  • Support together.eu communities by reinforcing the participation of the civil society.
