The event will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels, from 09.00 to 12.30. The topic chosen this year retains global importance and is one that allows for in-depth examination. Media has the capacity to influence public opinion and frame information. At the same time, Information and communication technologies (ICTs) permeate all levels and areas of society. Both media and ICTs therefore have considerable potential in the promotion of women's empowerment. This prominent event will thus provide a global forum for an exchange of experiences and best practices in these areas.
