EU Elections: Toolkit with ready-to-use tweets and posts for a feminist Europe

published on 05/17/2019

To advocate for a feminist Europe and feminist candidates running for the upcoming EU elections, Young Feminist Europe has developed a social media toolkit as part of its “Her Europe Campaign”.

The purpose of the toolkit is to help amplify the voices of (young) women on why #EuropeNeedsFeminism and how Europe is important. Feel free to use all the material provided, either by copy pasting or as an inspiration. You can access the toolkit here: toolkit-link, and download the visuals here visuals-link.
