As part of the strategy to put the right to time on the agenda of EU’s policies, on 2 December a Time Use Initiative delegation participated in the expert hearing organised by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in Brussels to contribute to the EU’s priorities at the UNCSW69 United Nations Women’s Conference taking place March next year. 

Ariadna Guell, TUI’s co-director, was representing the Time Use Initiative, and, during her intervention there, she presented our proposals on the right to time and pointed out the key role of time policies in combating gender inequalities worldwide.

We also asked, together with Make Mothers Matters’s representative, to include time poverty as a priority in Bejing’s protocol.
