European Week of Action for Girls 8 – 11 October

The European Week of Action for Girls (EWAG) is back, from 8-11 October! Organised by a coalition of civil society organisations and held under the patronage of President Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, EWAG is a week-long programme of events and activities to mark the International Day of the Girl, on Friday 11th October. Now in its seventh year, and at the beginning of a new legislature, EWAG 2019 will give youth advocates the opportunity to talk to EU decision-makers and help shape a better world for all girls.

EWAG youth advocates will particularly focus on girls’ right to education, economic empowerment, participation in decision-making, and on combating violence.
