Initiative summary:
Gender equality is a fundamental value of the EU enshrined in the European Union Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights and confirmed in EU law. The European Commission recognises the need to address long-pending issues of gender inequality and to tackle emerging challenges. A new policy framework will follow the Strategic engagement for gender equality 2016-2019 in order to give a framework for the Commission’s work on promoting gender equality in the EU and elsewhere.
