Who run the world? Boys (in the EU’s case). Criticism mounts in Brussels as capitals nominate man after man after man for commissioner roles. politico.eu/article/ursula…

Today, we urged President Ursula von der Leyen to persist in her commitment to equality between women & men. We ask her to insist on better efforts from Member States to achieve a gender-balanced Commission and hold them accountable if they fail to do so. It's time to walk the talk.

🚨 The next European Commission could be the most gender-imbalanced ever! 👥 With just three days left until the deadline set by Ursula von der Leyen for countries to designate their commissioners, 22 out of 27 names have been submitted. The count? 16 men and only 6 women. ✒

What's a 'woman's job'? It's not only the 🇪🇺 European Commission struggling with #GenderEquality in the workforce ♀️♂️ Women face disadvantages throughout the #LabourMarket, due in large part to the segregation of men and women into different jobs - and the often poorer conditions

🙋‍♀️🇪🇺 At FEMM Committee Press meeting this morning w. Laura Kaun. 📢Carlien Scheele EIGE stressed that we're still 60 years away to full #genderequality in the #EU & that society's polarisation is widening gender gaps. Let's strive for a #FeministEurope & #UnionOfEquality !

The EU has the legal obligation to ensure equality between women & men. This goal cannot be achieved without equal representation of women at the top decision-making positions and it is time Member States fully realize it. politico.eu/article/von-de…
