“Our Future Starts Now” by European Women’s Lobby
Poster by Take Shape Studio
Contributed by Tommaso Trillò, 2017
Keywords: Poster, Women’s rights, Europe
The poster was issued by the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) for the purpose of dissemination after approving a list of strategic priorities for the time span 2016–20. On one side is the slogan ‘Our Future Starts Now’ while on the other sides it has a list of five key priorities: (1) ensure institutional mechanisms for women’s human rights, (2) end violence against women, (3) promote a feminist economic model based on equality, wellbeing, care, and social justice, (4) challenge and change the culture of sexism and stereotypes, and (5) position women at the heart of decision-making.
The European Women’s Lobby is one of the most powerful pro-equality lobby organizations at the European level. They have been advocating for women’s rights and gender equality with a focus on Europe since 1987. I was given this poster together with other promotional material when I visited the EWL headquarters for a research interview in March 2017.
