You think the European Union (EU) should be doing more to support women? So do we – and together with you we can do something about it! Join us in raising our voices to petition the European Commission to increase its support for women-specific projects. Did you know that in 2003, only 0,04% of EU aid was directed to women’s initiatives? We are collecting signatures from individuals all over the world who believe that women are vital to the growth and health of communities everywhere and deserve increased respect and support.

Let the EU know that 0,04% of aid for women's projects is unacceptable- sign the world-wide petition today.
