MPG\u2019s legal experts gather for the annual legal seminar<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On 29 November 2024, the European network of legal experts in gender equality and non-discrimination<\/a> hold its annual legal seminar. This annual seminar gathered in Brussels aimed to foster dialogue and share insights on advancing equality and combating gender equality and discrimination across the European Union. This annual gathering serves as a platform to address emerging legal and societal challenges, review the latest developments in EU legislation and case law and present the Network\u2019s publications.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Presenting and discussing the Network\u2019s forthcoming publications: thematic reports <\/strong>on Gender equality in statutory social security, the legal implications of the Istanbul Convention after accession gendered content in advertising within the media, National measures to combat anti-muslim hatred, and evolving concepts like discrimination by association and by assumption, the seminar sought to identify good practices and gaps in current national legal frameworks.<\/li>\n
  2. Collaboration and Networking<\/strong>: Bringing together experts from the Network coming from diverse background, academia, civil society organisations, equality bodies together, with colleagues from the Commission, national equality bodies and European organisations the event encouraged the exchange of ideas and strategies, fostering partnerships to address complex equality and non-discrimination issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ultimately, the seminar underscored the EU\u2019s commitment to creating an inclusive society through robust legal mechanisms and coordinated efforts to eliminate discrimination in all its forms.<\/p>\n

    Both strands of the Network, gender equality coordinated by the Utrecht university and non-discrimination\u00a0 coordinated by MPG-for the past decades provides crucial expertise and information assisting \u00a0the European Commission to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n

    Karen Vandekerckhove<\/strong><\/a>, Deputy Director Equality & Non-Discrimination of the the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers celebrated the uniqueness of the Network emphasising the fact it is able to provide independent information for the European Commission\u201d.<\/p>\n

    On\u00a028 November, during the annual internal meeting, MPG and its experts marked an incredible milestone: the\u00a020th anniversary of the non-discrimination strand\u00a0of the Network. For two decades, its work has been at the forefront of combating discrimination by providing the European Commission and the public with\u00a0independent analysis\u00a0on the transposition and implementation of EU anti-discrimination and on other issues at stake.<\/p>\n

    Isabelle Chopin<\/strong>, Director of MPG, said: \u201cWe are immensely proud of leading this work and deeply grateful to our dedicated non-discrimination and senior experts for their invaluable contributions\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]
