Brussels
We must be conscious of the different needs of women and men in our approach to welcoming asylum seekers to Europe. This was the overarching message of the women’s organisation of the Party of European Socialists, in a declaration on women refugees, agreed at a meeting of its executive on 12 February. The declaration focuses on three aspects of women asylum seekers’ experiences. Firstly, the right of asylum; secondly the right to a safe and secure arrival and thirdly the need for the inclusive welcome of women.
