Time to deliver on gender equality in the sector!

EWA Network's Berlinale event will focus on EWA Network's strategic key areas and relevant topics such as the PAY GAP, the Double discrimination faced by women of colour, LGBTQI women, disabled women, older women, and women from lower-income backgrounds and Safety on set and in production.
We will start the event off with a keynote by our founder, Francine Raveney after which you can join specific programming for EWA Network's members only, such as a panel on the Gender pay gap, facts and figures followed by Q&A session, an update on EWA members' projects and new initiatives.
