This year the State of the Union will address the theme of Women in Europe and the World. In a special podcast, Professor Brigid Laffan (RSCAS) and EUI PhD Law researcher Dieneke de Vos debate the challenges faced by women across the world today. They discuss gender disparities in boardrooms, continuing sexual violence and where the future lies for the feminist movement. The podcast is moderated by Olivia Arigho-Stiles.
