Guest Post: A letter to women of the UK from your European sister
Guest blog from Mary Collins, European feminist and social justice advocate
Dear Sisters of the United Kingdom
As D Day approaches, I appeal to you to vote YES to REMAIN in the European Union (EU).
The EU, with all its flaws, has been instrumental for women’s rights and gender equality since the treaty of Rome in 1957. From a very narrow focus on equal pay – which I concede has yet to be achieved – the feminists of Europe have successfully pushed the boundaries to ensure that all policies are designed and implemented through a gender lens (gender mainstreaming). And yes, I concede again that the gender revolution has yet to take place.
