Unconditional Basic Income Europe BASIC INCOME TEA Gender Equality under Corona – 17 May |
Join us for a UBI tea talk on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment! |
Did you manage to watch last Sunday the third edition of "Basic Income Tea"? Together with Isabel Franco of Podemos and Julen Bollain of Red Renta Basica, we looked at the Spanish state's response to the Corona-crisis. In particular, we discussed the policy package announced in the past weeks, the Minimum Living Income. If you missed it, make sure you watch the recording here. Please also share it with your friends on the social network of your choice! This Sunday, 17 May at 5pm CEST , we will address "Basic Income, Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment ". In this edition, we will ask why this crisis is having more economic and health impacts on women and how it is strengthening the burdens of gender-based violence and unpaid care work. Register here to join the discussion! With her guests Gabriela Cabaña (Anthropologist, PhD researcher at the London School of Economics and member of the Chilean Network of Basic Income), Nicole Teke (UBI advocate, member of MFRB, former UBIE Vice-Chair), and Martin Jordö (Journalist, Economic Spokesperson of the Swedish Feminist Party), UBIE Vice-Chair Alessandra Bianchi will analyse the political response so far, and ask which policies should be implemented in order to efficiently address these difficulties. |
Want to meet other basic income advocates, share your thoughts via live chat, and be able to put your questions to our guests? Then please register here until Saturday, 16 May, so we can send you the connection details for the video conferencing tool (Zoom)! If you just want to listen and enjoy, you can also watch the live stream on the UBIE website and on our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) starting Sunday, 17 May, 5 pm CEST. |
Looking forward to see you, Alessandra Bianchi
