European webinar on Gender equality statistics and strategies in audiovisual production
For the fifth consecutive year, a group of organisations and research bodies in the European audiovisual sector (UNI Europa, EFAD, EWA, FERA, FIA, Le Lab Femmes de Cinéma, the European Audiovisual Observatory and Cineuropa) are putting the spotlight on the place of women in audiovisual production. Their objective is to keep monitoring the evolution of the presence of women on and off European screens, maintain the topic of gender equality firmly on the audiovisual industry agenda, and to keep advocating for relevant and efficient actions.
The webinar will be held between 13:00 and 14:30 CET. Simultaneous interpretation in English, French and Spanish will be available.
