What they argued
In the context of this consultation, the European Womens Lobby (EWL) wishes to express its concern on the tendency of the EU to move towards a military/security approach. The EWL highlights that UN Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security will mark its 25th anniversary in 2025. This Resolution acknowledges that women are agents of peace and reconciliation.
Prostitution and Trafficking as Interlinked Systems of Exploitation In line with the long-standing position of the European Womens Lobby (EWL), prostitution and trafficking for sexual exploitation are structurally interconnected.
