At the end of November, EAF Berlin hosted a group of media professionals from Ukraine. Our lively discussion focused on the role of civil society organizations and independent media in Ukraine, Russian narratives in the German public sphere, the importance of amplifying Ukrainian voices, and the challenging working conditions faced by female journalists. Once again, it is clear how pivotal a role women play in Ukrainian civil society.

The goals and initiatives of EAF Berlin also sparked significant interest and many questions. As a former editor at the taz newspaper, board member Dr. Helga Lukoschat was particularly pleased that the delegation had also visited her former workplace. The delegation was organized by the NGO Women in Media in cooperation with the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) based in Leipzig and was funded by the Federal Foreign Office as part of the #CivilSocietyCooperation program.

New study reveals the extent and impact of sexism in the workplace

63 percent of employees in Germany have experienced sexism at work. The study, conducted by EAF Berlin as part of the "Together Against Sexism" alliance, shows that women and genderqueer individuals are primarily affected, while sexism is predominantly perpetrated by men. These experiences often lead to emotional and psychological distress and can negatively impact careers and financial situations.
