🏅 The Paris Olympic Games start today! It is the first time in Olympic history where there is gender parity among athletes. 🎉 Why is this important? Because it will pave the way for more #women in #sports! However, there is still a long way to go. In fact, 👉In EU National Olympic Committees women account for 1 to 3 decision-making positions out of 10. https://lnkd.in/eW9z9ijG 👉In European Confederations of sports only 3 women out of 28 are presidents. https://lnkd.in/et9YxmJZ So, what is the way forward? Gender mainstreaming in sports policies! 🏅 💡 https://lnkd.in/dQwU5QF #Paris2024 #GenderEquality #Olympics #EqualityInSports #WomenInSports

Diversifying #inequalities – a rising challenge within our future. 🌐 As we tackle gender discrimination, we also address other forms of #discrimination: such as age and sexual orientation, just to name a few. People who experience discrimination for other reasons, are likely to face gender discrimination even more. By addressing the #intersectionality of #gender with other grounds, we can develop policies that tackle all the inequalities which impact people in vulnerable situations. Sub-themes: 🔀 Intersectionality and Multiple Identities 💰 Economic Inequalities and Access to Resources 🏥 Healthcare Accessibility and Quality 🎒 Education and Skill Development Read more: https://lnkd.in/gP5dN_kH

🔎 Do these numbers add up to you? 💰 Everyone deserves financial independence – but the path to reach that is often #unequal for women and men. 🚧 Traditional gender roles can limit women's access to the #labour market, resulting in fewer job opportunities, lower incomes, and lower pensions during retirement. 💡 Interested in finding out why financial independence remains critical? Then you can explore EIGE’s report on the matter: https://lnkd.in/dQDFFZQm European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) #FinancialIndependence #LabourMarket #GenderRoles #GenderStereotypes #GenderPayGap #GenderEquality
Despite global progress, the gender pay gap persists, with women in low-income countries being particularly affected. In high-income nations, women earn 73 cents for every dollar earned by men. In contrast, in low-income countries, women earn just 44 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. More from the International Labour Organization: https://ow.ly/1yfm50SBl3B

🎉 Exciting news! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new visual identity! 🙌 After months of putting all the pieces together, we’re unveiling a new, dynamic and more inclusive look which better reflects who we are. Head to our website and let us know what you think! 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5c4gtM2
Our Agency has a fresh new look! It lands off the back of The European Institute for Gender Equality's 14th birthday, which we celebrated a few weeks ago. It also comes at the right moment with a newly elected European Parliament and soon, a new European Commission. If there were ever a time to protect the gains and push for stronger commitment for gender equality, it’s now. With close to a decade and a half of feats as the EU’s only Agency providing independent research and sharing best practices to promote gender equality and eliminate discrimination based on gender, it was naturally an occasion for celebration. But also, as with all milestone moments, it gave pause for reflection. Our work – from data collection to awareness raising campaigns– is laced with intersectionality, accessibility and inclusivity. We have taken much pride in this nexus. But showing is just as important as telling. We have integrated feedback from our second external evaluation report, to secure a throughline between what we do and how we present our work to our key stakeholders and broader communities. We’d like to think of our new corporate visual identity as equality empowered by design. A symbolic representation of the EU’s women and men in all their diversity. In our revamped look, we are catering both our online and offline products to everyone – including those with visual impairments: better fonts, clearer design and a more user-friendly presentation of our texts and visuals. For now, I’ll leave you to get better acquainted with our Agency’s revamped look with a quick video explainer below and some reading here: https://lnkd.in/e3y_hwsv I’d be keen to know your thoughts on our new look, so feel free to leave your feedback in the comments below! #Equality24seven
