Les dirigeants de l’Union européenne s’engagent en faveur de l’égalité des sexes

Prior to International Women's Day, members of the European Commission showed their support for HeForShe and making gender equality a priority issue.

The action reflects the Commission's strong support for women's rights and women's empowerment. According to new Eurobarometer statistics, a large majority of citizens (76%) believe that tackling inequality between women and men should be a priority for the EU. The Commission's annual Report on equality between women and men, shows that despite some progress gender equality remains an unfinished business.
