Gender Equality: what’s the status quo?
The status quo of gender equality in Africa refers to the current state of affairs as it is, or in other words, the oppression women receive to this moment. Women
are responsible for 60% of the work done globally, yet earn just 10% income and 1% of the property. In Africa, 70% of women are financially excluded. The continent has a US$42 billion financing gap between men and women. In addition, there exist many other causes for gender inequality in Africa being: lack of legal protection, lack of bodily autonomy, poor medical care, societal mindset, uneven
access to education…

Africa-Europe: from COVID-19 to Recovery
Europe is living in a temporary depression that seems to come to an end in the following months.
On the other hand, Africa has managed its own COVID-19 crisis with less damages than Europe and the Americas, but once the pandemic is over and those continents make a re-start, where's Africa's starting point with respect to its European partners?
It's still a migration-problem-only view for Europeans or will Africa be able to seek further partnerships?
Will Africa's voice be heard in the recovery budgets of the European Union?
Borders will re-open, but will Africa and Europe rely again on walls, razor-wire fences, and such?
