Alabama has a glorious history of strong women struggling to overcome obstacles, sometimes as movements but often in individual fights for dignity, autonomy, and survival. Imagine the strength and ingenuity it took— and takes—for a slave woman, a sharecropper, a battered wife, or a domestic worker to survive. Women in this state have also fought on behalf of others, through social movements such as the abolitionist, anti-lynching, trade unionist, prison reform, suffrage, anti-poll tax, literacy, and civil rights movements. More recently, such battles have focused on equal rights for women, protection from rape and domestic violence, child support, reproductive rights, child care, educational equity, and inheritance equity. Currently, attempts to improve the status of Alabama women are particularly focused on the continuing problems associated with poverty and relative powerlessness. Alabama organizations are examining poverty, the lack of women in decision-making positions, violence against women in the home and on the streets, and the poor health of women. So far, these contemporary efforts have at times been fragmented and lacked coordination. Now we have a guide. After these many years of struggle, The Status of Women in Alabama examines the progress that we have made and compares the position of Alabama’s women to that of women in the rest of the United States. Specifically, the report examines political, economic, social, and health measures. We can be proud of ou

Funding in resolution: assessment of innovative financing solutions by the Court of Justice

The reform of crisis management and insurance scheme in the EU provides for the opportunity to reflect on current financing mechanisms. This presentation focused on one specific pillar of the Banking Union: the Single Resolution Mechanism, which is made up of the Single Resolution Board and of the Single Resolution Fund and more specifically, one chosen topic: the ex ante contributions to the Single Resolution Fund. These contributions are provided for mainly in the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (No 806/2014). They have been in the spotlight of legal discussions since the inception of the Single Resolution Fund and have been and are still subject to a lot of litigation. My contribution explored several structural legal aspects related to the ex ante contributions from the elaboration of the related legal framework to the current state of the implementation of this framework. The first aspect is the choice of the legal basis for the main instrument at stake: the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation based on Article 114 TFEU. This would include developments on the legal nature of these contributions showing that it follows an insurance-based logic and not a taxation one. The second aspect is the question of legal certainty related to the methodology of calculation of these contributions in order to show that despite its complexity the legal framework is sufficiently clear and foreseeable to levy these ex ante contributions. The third aspect is the principle of proportionality. All this was assessed on the basis of the history of the adoption of the relevant legal package and of the evolving case law of the European Court of Justice
