Gender Equality + Climate Action =
Our Future

Taking #3StepsForward for a just and
fair Europe

Hello and welcome back to EIGE's newsletter! October is always a packed month at
the Institute. With the imminent Gender Equality Index 2023 release preparations are
underway for presenting the new scores on gender equality in the EU and all Member
States. During the conference on 24 October 2023, we will see where we stand in
different areas of life such as power, health and work, while highlighting where there
have been signicant improvements and what more needs to be done to keep
moving forward. 

With this year's Index thematic focus looking at where The European Green Deal and
gender equality meet, EIGE's has recently launched the next phase of
its #3StepsForward campaign. To ensure no one is left behind, EIGE calls for policy
and decision-makers to deliver a fair, green and inclusive future.  To help mobilise
efforts, EIGE is taking three steps: collecting evidence showing where the links

between existing gender and intersectional inequalities and the green transition
exist. Engaging in conversations with diverse voices and ideas. And taking action
with the support of EIGE tools and good practices. Explore the campaign website for
ongoing developments. 

You'll also nd information on EIGE's upcoming webinars on gender and the green
transition through the lens of the energy and transport sectors. And then, a selection
of the latest publications to catch up on and more.

Gender Balance In The European Green Deal

Looking through the combined lens of the
European Green Deal and the EU Gender
Equality Strategy (2020-2025) this statistical
note presents key ndings on women’s and
men’s representation in decision-making
processes in the European Green Deal as a
whole. 

In addition, it also assesses the gender
balance in the eight areas for action at the
national and EU levels.

A Better Work–Life Balance: Bridging The Gender Care
Gap

Care is a fundamental aspect of our lives, as
everyone will either require or provide care at
some point. Gender inequalities in informal
care and its implications for carers and the
labour market is of major concern in the EU.

Drawing on the 2022 EIGE's rst EU-wide
Survey of Gender Gaps in Unpaid Care,
Individual and Social Activities, this brief
offers much needed up-to-date insights into
the gendered dynamics of caregiving.

Economic and Psychological Violence Against Women

To understand the complexities and nuances
of Economic and Psychological Violence

Against Women, there is a need for
harmonised denitions and data in the EU.  

Two comprehensive factsheets on both types
of violence against women explore the issues
from risk to impact to policy reommendations.

Psychological Violence here. 

Gender Equality Index: Measuring progress in the
Western Balkans

Since 2016, with EIGE’s support, the Gender
Equality Index has been gradually introduced
among the EU candidate countries and
potential candidates (Albania, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North
Macedonia, and Serbia). It grounds the
monitoring of gender equality in the region
and provides a powerful policymaking tool
that enables achievements to be measured
across the main policy areas. 

Dive into the publication for an in depth look at
gender equality in the Western Balkans
against the backdrop of the EU.

(*) This designation is without prejudice to
positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR
1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo
declaration of independence.

Good to know

A Look Back at 10+ Years of IPA

Over more than a decade ago, EIGE began a
cooperation with EU pre-accession countries
with the support of DG NEAR. As its fth
project has now closed, there are many
rewarding and long-lasting outcomes to
reect on.

But the road does not end here. EIGE will
continue to engage in dialogue and share
good practices to maintain the work already
done.
