Dr. Lina Gálvez Muñoz (MEP, S&D, Spain) offers her viewpoints from a feminist economics perspective in an exchange with Laeticia Thissen (FEPS Gender Equality Policy Adviser) in the backdrop of the global public attention attracted by female leaders’ role in curbing the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying key issues ranging from the importance of gender-disaggregated data to the lack of gender budgeting, she namely highlights need to empower more female progressive leaders to enable the emergence of a new narrative, which would pave the way for a radical economic paradigm shift whereby care holds a central place enabling women and men alike to thrive in a society that nurtures their well-being and their environment.
