A new #EUDisabilityRights Strategy for 2021-2030 has been released! The strategy aims to support people with disabilities through reducing discrimination and inequalities!

[EU Social 🇪🇺 @EU_Social]

Happy #WomensDay! 👩‍🦰🧕👩‍🦳

There is no such thing as jobs for men and jobs for women.

There is no justification for the gender pay gap.

#GenderEquality must be at the heart of the recovery from the pandemic 👉 at the heart of Europe's future 💙

[Autism-Europe @AutismEurope]

#InternationalWomensDay
➡️The longstanding underrepresentation of #women in research and clinical practice may have generated a male-biased understanding of #autism (Lai et al., 2015).
💪Join us in addresing the effects of gender #discrimination & take action for an equal future
