To mark the United Nations International Day of Families on the 15th May, we are pleased to share rich insights into the policy reforms necessary to better promote family resilience across European countries.
International Women’s Rights Day 2025 takes place at a pivotal moment for the European Union. The EU’s current Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 is concluding this year and following this, a new strategy is to be launched in 2026. This transition offers an opportunity to set new priorities and intensify efforts towards inclusion, equity, and support for women. COFACE will continue to push for an ambitious new strategy with flagship initiatives focusing on closing the gender care gap, and in general on addressing the intersections of gender equality and family well-being.
On this Safer Internet Day, COFACE Families Europe launches its revised Digitalisation Principles and calls on the European Union for a strong implementation and enforcement of EU digital policies and laws, with these 14 principles in mind. COFACE Families Europe aims to ensure that digitalisation and new technological developments support all families and respect the rights of all children.
Across the world, 606 million working-age women (20%) perform unpaid care work on a full-time basis.
COFACE Families Europe and partners celebrate 10 years of coordinated EU action on deinstitutionalisation.
