Gender aspects of energy poverty

Summary:

This year, International Women's Day is being celebrated in the context of Russia's war in Ukraine. By threatening energy shortages, the conflict has exacerbated the inflationary effects of the post-pandemic recovery, leading to a cost-of-living crisis in Europe. Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) is marking the day with a meeting with national parliaments on 1 March 2023. On the agenda: the impact of rising energy prices on women and potential measures to mitigate it.
