Interview Series - 11 - Benedetta Escuderi (Member of the European Parliament)

Benedetta Escuderi (MEP, Greens/EFA) on Gender Equality, Feminism & EU Policy. In this interview, Benedetta Escuderi, Member of the European Parliament for the Greens/EFA group and shadow rapporteur on the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2025, reflects on the state of feminist policymaking in today’s European Union. She discusses recent wins — such as the Parliament’s support for abortion rights through the My Voice, My Choice initiative — alongside major setbacks caused by far-right obstruction and the lack of political will to translate commitments into concrete action. Escuderi also highlights structural problems inside EU institutions, from the absence of gender-responsive budgeting in the Multiannual Financial Framework to the gender imbalance in key parliamentary committees. 🔹 The EU Gender Equality Strategy 2025 🔹 Abortion and reproductive rights in Europe 🔹 Far-right backlash and centre-right compromises 🔹 Gender mainstreaming and EU budgets 🔹 Employment, care work and economic inequality 🔹 Violence against women, femicide and prevention 🔹 Why education is essential to end gender-based violence “We can talk endlessly about gender equality — but without budgets, data and implementation, we are not taking it seriously.” 📌 A deep conversation on feminism, power and the political battles shaping gender equality in the European Union. #genderequality #womensrights #GreensEFA #abortionrights #euparliament #feminism
