EIGE is launching a new phase of cooperation with EU candidate countries and potential candidates in the Western Balkans and Türkiye. Marking a renewed commitment to advance gender equality across the region, the agency is starting a new four-year action.
Despite progress across Europe, full gender equality remains at least 50 years away, according to EIGE’s 2025 Gender Equality Index which introduces new indicators and a renewed pace of change.
All women and girls deserve to feel safe at home, at school, at work and in public. Yet digital tools are increasingly used to stalk, harass and silence them.
During a recent Management Board meeting, we sat with the Chair for a quick-fire tour through gender gaps, political sheroes and giving the floor to the youth.
Despite high-level support for equality, stubborn gender stereotypes still steer choices at home, at work and in public life. Under the Danish EU Presidency, can we better align policy with Europe’s ambition to become a Union of Equality?
The EU’s new Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030 will be judged not by the promises it makes, but by what it delivers for the women and men in all their diversity in Europe.
The countdown begins! Mark your calendars: The Gender Equality Index 2025 will release on 2 December 2025. This year comes with a key turning point: a revamped methodology.
EIGE’s new report shows that countries with robust gender equality institutions make more progress on gender equality. As EU leaders shape the next Gender Equality Strategy and budget, there’s no time to waste.
It is our great pleasure to welcome Helena Valas, from Slovenia, after being elected as Chair of the Board, following EIGE’s 44th Management Board meeting, held on 19-20 June 2025 in Vilnius. Her term began on 20 June 2025.
How far have we come since a landmark commitment to gender equality was set in 1995 at the Fourth UN World Conference on Women in Beijing, China? One which encompasses the EU’s progress as well as the global context.
