The exhibition “Inspire Inclusion” was launched on 7 March, to mark International Women’s Day 2024 at the EEAS Headquarters. When you walk along this photo gallery, you will see women and men who work for the EEAS and who inspire inclusion in different ways. With this exhibition, we aim to make you think about the ‘traditional’ aisles of male portraits in many governmental buildings around the world. It is time to change this ‘picture’ and to include women in our society on an equal basis.

Inspire inclusion!

Women weren’t given the right to vote. They fought for it.

Yet, today, they’re less inclined to vote, also in the European Elections.

Democracy starts with the people. And it can’t truly deliver if half of the population doesn’t have equal representation.

That’s why it’s important that women’s voices are heard in the upcoming EU elections, no matter where they live.

You can help make it happen!

On International Women’s Day, we welcome you to meet some of the women behind the work of EU Electoral Observation Missions. Participation of women in the political sphere, gender-balance as well as respect for women's rights are some of the many aspects that EU Election Observation missions observe, upon invitation from the host country. Whether Chief Observer leading the Mission, legal analyst, media analyst, social media analyst, observer coordinator or electoral technologies analyst, all our female experts play a key role in strengthening democracy and enhancing public confidence in elections processes.
