Book Description
Gender equality is one of the fundamental values of the European Union (EU). The EU is dedicated not only to defending this right, but also to promoting gender equality within the Member States and across the world. This is the core aim of the European Commission{u2019}s strategic engagement for gender equality 2016-20191. In addition, the strategic engagement ensures that a gender equality perspective is integrated into all EU policies and EU funding programmes. This '2018 report on equality between women and men in the EU' takes stock of the main initiatives launched or accomplished in 2017 in the five thematic areas of the strategic engagement: (1) equal economic independence of women and men; (2) equal pay for work of equal value; (3) equality in decision-making; (4) ending gender-based violence; and (5) promoting gender equality beyond the EU. It focuses in particular on: key trends and the newest available data on the Strategic engagement indicators; actions in the EU, focusing on the achievements by EU Member States and the EU institutions; inspiring practices, innovative projects and successful policies. The report focuses on short-term developments over the last 12 months, but also on medium-term changes since 2010 which could evolve into longer-term developments.

Book Description
France has a long-standing tradition of legislating in favour of gender equality in the domain of employment and professional life. The principle of equality between men and women was first recognized in 1946 in the Preamble to the French Constitution. The law of 11 February 1950 first regulated the principle of equal pay between men and women and states that this principle has to be inserted in collective agreements. In 1972, in order to integrate the ILO Convention number 100 into the French system, the principle of equal pay for work of equal value for men and women was introduced into the Labour Code. Since then, at least 12 laws have been adopted dealing with gender equality. Despite this important legislative framework, the implementation of the European Directives on equality has had a very deep influence in pushing the French legislature to address new issues and to adopt new measures, sometimes with some important delay. For example, until May 2008, the main concepts of EU gender discrimination law had not been properly implemented in France, as French legislation included no legal definition of the concepts of direct and indirect discrimination, although the courts had applied the European definitions in some gender case law. If we look at the basic structure of the French legal system, it is important to note that the principle of equality between women and men has a constitutional value. In the field of employment and professional life, most of the rules can be found in the Labour Code in the part dealing with discrimination in general (Art. L 1132-1 et seq. of the Labour Code) and in the part specifically dealing with gender equality at work (Art. L 1141-1 et seq. of the Labour Code). The Labour Code only applies to private employment relationships. In the public sector, specific regulations apply, usually with a similar content. Therefore the two supreme courts in France, the Cour de cassation for private law and the Conseil d'Etat for public law, apply the rules on gender equality and sometimes with slightly different assessments of cases. It seems, for example, much more difficult for the Conseil d'Etat to integrate the concept of indirect discrimination than for the Cour de cassation. However, the two Courts now clearly aim to merge the concepts. An important piece of this legislative framework is the Act adopted on 15 May 2008 (Act. No 2008-496) implementing the various directives on discrimination. Among other elements, the Act finally defines direct and indirect discrimination and it applies to public and private relationships. Some provisions of the Criminal Code also deal with penal sanctions for discrimination. Outside the influence of the European Union, gender equality policies in France could also follow the French policy makers' own agenda. For example, various acts have been adopted with the aim of implementing parity in politics and other decision-making bodies. One of the most important and recent developments in gender equality policy is the adoption of Act No. 2014-873, of 4 August 2014, on real equality between men and women. This law promotes an 'integrated and transversal approach to sex equality.' Many bodies (boards of directors, work councils etc...) have to produce reports on gender equality, as well as private firms, administrative bodies, cities and regions.

Book Description
On 5 March 2020, the Commission adopted its Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025. The strategy was the first deliverable on President von der Leyen's commitment to a Union of Equality. It sets out an ambitious framework for the next 5 years, formally endorsed by the Commission, on how to advance gender equality in Europe and beyond. The strategy is based on a vision for a Europe where women and men, girls and boys, in all their diversity, are free from violence and stereotypes and have the opportunity to thrive and to lead. This is the first report under the new strategy. It takes stock of where the EU and its Member States stand on gender equality one year after the adoption of the Strategy.
