@L_K_Henning @iva_petkovic @MariEccles @sarahchander @ENAREurope As our lives have taken the majority of our dedicated team away from Brussels, and after careful consideration of how we might keep @EUPanelWatch going, it is time to announce that … can't believe it's happening but . (6/9)

@L_K_Henning @iva_petkovic @MariEccles After 4 amazing years, we're proud of the work we've done and grateful for what we've learnt along the way - most importantly how to bring intersectionality to our campaign. For that we’d like to thank @sarahchander🥰 from @ENAREurope (5/9).
Thanks @EUPanelWatch and @ENAREurope for the insightful report and keynote. #Manels prevalent in order of industry. But the moral is : gender equality must be taken with an intersectional approach. White women, don’t leave your sisters behind. #brusselssowhite #1year1000voices

@L_K_Henning @iva_petkovic @MariEccles Today, more and more event organisers are making real efforts to change who they give a platform to, and almost every corner of Brussels’ EU political bubble frowns upon pale, male and stale panels. (4/9)

@L_K_Henning @iva_petkovic @MariEccles Only a few years ago, few voiced their concerns about all-white and male panels. Together with our Twitter followers, we’ve laughed and cried as event organisers in Brussels put same old speakers on panels. But along the way, things started to change. (3/9).

@L_K_Henning Since then, with the help of incredible teammates .@iva_petkovic @MariEccles and many other dedicated volunteers, we grew and grew, shining a light on outdated conference formats and encouraging many to advocate for change (2/9) .
We had fun last night meeting our enthusiastic volunteers and planning how we’ll smash the patriarchy and make “dusty manels” a thing of the past 💁🏻♀️🙋🏽♀️🙅🏾♀️ Can’t wait💪🏼 Thank you all for coming!

Way back in 2015, Marika and @L_K_Henning set up our twitter account as a way to call out the all-male panels they were tired of seeing in Brussels, hoping other people were as frustrated and if they were, that perhaps things might begin to change. They were right. THREAD (1/9)👇

Panel discussions can be very boring, but they don’t have to be if you follow these six rules.

The brilliant @GenderAvenger handed over their newsletter to us this week - and we used the space to highlight two great organisations in Brussels. The first is @MeTooEP who are doing important work to combat sexual harassment in the European Parliament.
My fave campaigners teaming up and I am loving it!!!!! @GenderAvenger @EUPanelWatch @MeTooEP . ‼️Support #MeTooEP by calling on your MEP to sign the pledge to combat sexual harassment in @Europarl_EN . ➡️ cc: @bxlbinder.
