European Union Article 1 Art 1.1. is there a reason why the term “anyone” is not used instead of “any woman or man”. And what does this mean for the position of children, who seem to be excluded from the definition. Art 1.2. now use of any person/unclear in relation to 1.1. This definition is actually very broad (“related occupation”) and unclear. 26
