Get through this odd summer break by reading, listening and watching these Gender Equality gems!

It is summer, the sun is out (albeit not a lot when you live around Brussels), the days are longer, work is a little lighter, and you feel like escaping on an adventure! However, a global pandemic is kind of getting in the way of your aspirations…

Still, we thought we could provide you with some great recommendations to get you through this period and even find yourself on the other side more educated on Gender Equality than ever!

So buckle up, the trip might not take you further than your garden, but it will be an exciting ride nonetheless.
