Tower of Babel: Of women and cars
26 June 2009232 Cafebabel.com Paris
On 13 Feburary, women will demonstrate to demand greater respect for feminine diginity and gender equality, and to condemn the degrading image of womanhood highlighted by the recent sex scandals which have implicated Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Though women make up the majority of the European population, they are underrepresented in key institutional posts. As the 27 convene to pick the personages to hold the highest offices in the Union, women are demanding action on the parity principle.
