EESC Urges Stronger Action on EU Gender Equality
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is calling for more decisive action to achieve gender equality across the EU, stating that progress is too slow. In a new opinion, the EESC criticizes the gap between political commitments and tangible results in areas like the gender pay gap and women's representation in leadership. The committee, which represents employers, workers, and civil society, urges the European Commission and Member States to fully implement existing strategies and allocate sufficient funding. This call aims to put renewed pressure on policymakers to turn promises into concrete improvements for women.
An EU advisory body says progress on gender equality has stalled and demands concrete action now.
