For our first Talking Europe interview with the new crop of EU Commissioners, we host Hadja Lahbib, who is in charge of emergency preparedness and management, as well as equality. Lahbib, a former foreign minister in Belgium, talks about the challenges of her extensive portfolio, covering Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Afghanistan and Sudan. A common thread is the problems faced by women and girls in critical situations around the world – something that connects with Lahbib's efforts to promote gender balance and women's rights in the EU itself.
