This year, the EU Delegation will advocate against GBV on our social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we believe that the end of GBV must not only come from legislation and policy efforts, but also from education and mentality change, where women are seen on an equal basis as men and are respected as agents of change in the society.<br \/>\nFor this purpose, we will soon launch a competition in partnership with Kuwait University\u2019s College of Social Sciences where students will propose policy recommendations aiming at enhancing the role of women in environmental policies in Kuwait.<\/p>\n<p>Together with human rights, freedom and democracy, gender equality represents one of the core values that make the European Union what it is.
