It is due to the patriarchal structure of our societies, which is still widespread in the world. Despite the fact that women are struggling against these barriers and achieved many successes like higher education in Europe, in most countries women are better educated than men, still their position also in economic life is much lower than... 29/01/2025 | 19:57:16 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   Migration pressure has become a key issue for Europe, and big part of this it is growing refugee population.

Immunity is not about protecting us from legal charges or... 18/04/2024 | 12:37:00 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   I would like to express my personal strong support for the full recognition of the right to healthy environment as a human right in its entirety by the Council of Europe. It is disappointing that despite the numerous efforts, initiatives of last years, including by the civil society, as well as the Reykjavik governmental Summit recommendations, the right to save, clean, healthy and sustainable environment has not been formally recognized...
