Young women's political participation
Description
As we celebrate International Women's Day, we know that young women's participation in political life remains a challenge.

Guest: Caterina Bolognese (the Head of the Gender Equality Division at the Council of Europe) and Anna Lavizzari (a researcher at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, a member of the Pool of European Youth Researchers).
Hosts: Lana Pasic and Dariusz Grzemny
