#וואָמענסריגהץ: ינטערנאַטיאָנאַל ווייבערשע טאָג בדעה צו צושטעלן שטיצן פֿאַר וואָמען פּליטים

As the number of refugees in Europe continues to climb, Parliament wants to draw the attention to those who are among the most vulnerable: women and girls. This is why for this year's International Women's Day, which is held every year on 8 March, it has selected as its theme women refugees. On Wednesday and Thursday, Parliament is organizing several special events to call attention to their situation. Follow the events live on our website.
