EUD highlights that according to the information received from the National Associations of the Deaf, none of the women in national parliaments, at the European Parliament, nor in ministries of the governments are deaf. The lack of deaf women’s participation in leadership and decision-making can often lead to the lack of gender and disability sensitive measures especially the ones that include intersectional perspectives. Accordingly, recognising that women\u2019s equal political participation and representation in the decision making is the key to achieving equality and ensuring that policies affecting women consider various perspectives, including the perspectives of deaf women, EUD organised the second half of the seminar to address the topic of \u2018Women in Politics.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
