Mission & Interests
Goals: The Plan International EU Liaison Office works to influence EU external policies and programmes, through an integrated approach to advocacy, communications and funding, and based on voices of girls and young women themselves.
From conducting face-to-face meetings to developing policy recommendations and organising campaign-actions, we work to raise Plan International’s position as an expert on girls’ rights and gender equality, as well as EU development and humanitarian policy.
Plan International EU Office therefore acts as a liaison and coordination hub on EU issues for the global organisation, but most particularly for the Plan Europe network. Plan Europe is a regional network within Plan International which links all European National Offices with our International Headquarters. It is governed by the Plan Europe board.

Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: External action policies and programmes only. According to the EU’s own treaties, one of its principle objectives is the promotion and realisation of human rights, including children’s rights, around the world. When we see deficiencies and contradictions in EU external action policies, practice and programmes which negatively impact on children’s rights in partner countries of the EU, we will speak out. By providing a critical analysis of the EU’s proposals, we can push for the changes we want to see. For example: The EU Youth Action Plan, The EU Gender Action Plan III, EP Reports on Access to Education in Developing Countries, EU Communication on EU's humanitarian action: new challenges, same principles'.
Communication Activities: International Day of Girl and the European Week of Action for Girls campaign.

Is Member Of: European Week of Action for Girls coalition: The European Week of Action for Girls (EWAG) is an annual event organised by a coalition of Civil Society Organisations to mark the International Day of the Girl. Since 2012, EWAG has been pushing for the rights of girls to be better protected and championed by the EU, in particular through its external action.
EWAG is all about giving space to young advocates to bring their voices to EU decision-makers and help shape a better world for all girls. Through a series of policy, advocacy and campaign activities, EWAG partners and the young advocates will push the EU to abide by its commitments for gender equality and the protection of girls.
