She shared concrete recommendations promoted by EGBN and GBWN, including re-introducing binding gender equality objectives, integrating sex and gender analysis across all research activities, ensuring gender balance in decision-making bodies and strengthening monitoring through gender-disaggregated data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also encouraged participants to join the ongoing advocacy campaign \u201cInvest in What Matters for People!\u201d, which calls on EU institutions to place gender equality, care and social priorities at the heart of the next EU budget.
