Women's empowerment to mark International Women's Day

For the third time, the Women's Empowerment Network at the Silent University Ruhr is organising a day of action. Women from very different contexts will come together to discuss a wide range of topics. Always with a large international buffet and child care.  

This time, three lectures will address the socioeconomic and political situation of women and their sexuality in German society. Which structures are pushing women into disadvantaged positions in almost all parts of the world? How can women's rights be strengthened in the sexual, professional, and social context, both in public and in private?
