Press Release - International Women's Day 2017: Gender Equality – a European export - Brussels, 8 March 2017
The Commission is marking International Women's Day with the publication of a new report on equality between men and women, which shows that EU legislation, guidelines, actions and funding possibilities are supporting noticeable but uneven progress in EU Member States. Sixty years ago, equality between women and men was embedded in the Rome Treaty as one of the European Union's fundamental values. Fast forward to today and women's employment rate has reached an all-time high level.
