EL-Fem is the feminist network of the EL, uniting women who work in EL member parties around Europe as well as individual socialist feminist women.
EL-FEM introduces feminist politics into the EL, thus trying to increase the party’s appeal to and making it a space for women.
EL-FEM educates women on Marxism-Feminism and combines left and feminist political practice with reflection and theory.
It is a space of building and acting in solidarity with other women and their struggles.
Activities in recent years

Seminars on gender and women's issues in the Summer University
Planned additional activities
Documentation of the contributions and publication on the EL-FEM-website
