GERMAN SECTION OF THE EUW

The new President (right) of the EUW German Section,

The European Union of Women in Germany
The German section is proud to be a member of the European Union of Women from the beginning in 1953.

The German section is the common European “branch” of the Union of Women of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU, Bavaria). It is thereby integrated in the activities of the Union of Women and part of the political networks of their parties as well as the European People’s Party (EPP).
This integration is helpful to fulfil the task the German EUW has set for itself, namely

• to contribute to the formulation of statements and demands on women’s issues in the European decision making process,
  
  
• to transmit information on European discussions and decisions to the women within our national and regional organizations.
  
  

We do this

• by discussing special themes with European relevance and taking decisions in our General Assembly that are sent either to the political party and parliamentary organisations or to the EPP and European institutions,
  
  
• by working in the International Commissions of EUW, comparing different ways to handle problems and trying to find best practice models for all areas influencing women’s lifes,
  
  
• by taking part in the work of the EPP Women and their conferences, trying to link the work of the non governmental organisation EUW to the political organisation of Christian democratic women in the European Parliament.
