About the Women of Europe Awards<\/strong>
The Women of Europe Awards are handed out annually to honour and celebrate women striving to advance the European project in their professional or private capacity. In Europe, the role of women remains largely unrecognised and still needs to be supported, highlighted and increasingly recognised. As such, the awards showcase vital contributions of women and seek to increase women\u2019s presence and involvement in shaping Europe and its future.<\/em><\/span>
