Call for reforms to avoid sexual harassment in EU institutions - 09.05-10.05 Sexual harassment is a form of violence against women and girls and a discrimination on the basis of sex. The #MeToo movement triggered the institutions to adapt their internal rules and procedures in order to better identify, counter and sanction harassment. Three years after the start of #MeToo, it is time to explore what more needs to be done to prevent and fight sexual harassment in the institutions. Speakers from different institutions will include: Ellen Robson (Director, EP), Angela Marcos Figueruelo (Inquiries Officer, EU Ombudsman), Dominique Enjolras (Head of Unit, Commission) and Kristian Knudsen (Director-General, EP).
