This year’s International Women’s Rights Day came at a strange time for Europe. On the one hand, we have never been closer to gender equality, and Europe can boast being the best place on earth to be a woman. But on the other hand, there’s a concerted backlash against feminist activism, both online and offline, and widespread violence against women. The World Economic Forum predicts that we are still decades away from achieving equality.
This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and available in 10 languages through the European media partnership "EMOVE Hub".
