🧵 In 2021, The Stream achieved #GenderBalance for the fourth year in a row. We’re proud to meet this goal again after publicly pledging to never again finish a year without at least 50% women guests. Now, we issue a challenge to other media. If we can do it, so can you. 
We're ready to talk to other news shows and journalists about how we've done this, our methodology, and the strategies that have worked. We strongly believe that journalism can only be truly effective when it is representative of the societies it covers.
Any journalists who would like to talk can reach out to us at stream@aljazeera.net. We'd love to help.
Thinking about IOs & #genderbalance, just saw link about #OPCW Confidentiality Commission. Policies and strategies can (and do) improve balance in Secretariat, but are we lagging behind in terms of State Party appointed bodies? 1/3 opcw.org/media-centre/n… @INTGenderChamps #CSP26
I don't know much on this, but I assume its harder to regulate State Party bodies - or perhaps not? Raising awareness, encouraging #gender balanced applicant submissions, but onus is on SPs - can #OPCW rewrite ToRs to formalise a balance? Low priority? @INTGenderChamps #CSP26
Current #OPCW Confidentiality Comm appears heavily male dominated- not sure if the link is up2date tho. When we think of #genderbalance #genderperspectives in IOs, need to look beyond Secretariats and SPs delegations - theres a grey area in between! opcw.org/about/subsidia… #CSP26
Interesting report by @EPInstitutional & @PDurandOfficiel on #EP2019 elections, in particular on the need for more #genderbalance, reform of @EUCouncil and of the #spitzenkandidat system, and the role of #Europeanparties.

#Genderbalance is essential and political parties must be required to submit *gender-alternate* lists, where no two consecutive candidates can be of the same gender. This is one more reason to harmonise voting modalities at the EU level and not leave them up to Member States. 2/9
Our voting system must be reformed to ensure not only proportionality, but also a close link between citizens and MEPs. Lists of 30, 40 or 90 candidates are the best way for citizens to have no information about MEPs beyond their party affiliation. 3/9

[THREAD] We have launched new #gendertargets as part of our efforts to foster a diverse work environment. The strategy includes targets for hiring and promoting women, as well as for an overall increase in female staff by the end of 2026. Read more ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/… 1/3
To reach this overall increase and create a more gender-balanced workplace, the ECB plans to fill at least 50% of new open positions at analyst, expert and management levels with women #genderbalance 2/3
Ultimately, these measures aim to increase the share of women holding positions at analyst, expert and managerial levels to 51%, 47% and 36% respectively. We will review the targets in 2022 and 2024, adjusting or introducing measures where necessary 3/3
