Gender equality in power and decision-making
'This report presents the current situation and trends as regards women's and men's engagement in political, economic and social decision-making in the period from 2003 to 2014. It aims to highlight the gender gaps in leadership positions and to identify areas of decision-making where notable progress was made. The report provides a brief review of the EU policy context and research on factors that support or hinder women’s representation in decision-making. The analysis of data is based on the 18 indicators on political and economic decision-making endorsed by the Council in 1999, 2003 and 2008. The analysis is then extended to consider certain general trends in decision-making in other areas, such as academia and research institutions, media and sports organisations, where comparable data are available. It also presents examples of initiatives taken by the Member States to promote women’s participation in leadership positions.'- Creator

Illustrating the invisible
'The purpose of this study is to compare the ways in which female bodies are oversexualized by Western art and media and how that, in turn, has impacted the ways that society understands and defines female sexuality. In this study I will be asking my interview subjects about their background as a person, as an artist/ person involved in the art community and as a feminist. .Questions will revolve around the areas of art, sexuality, gender and feminism and I will be asking questions about my subjects childhood and personal background in order to get a feel for the perspective they are coming from.'- Creator

Special Eurobarometer 428
Special Eurobarometer 428
'This Eurobarometer Survey seeks to measure Europeans' perceptions of gender inequalities within their own country: how widespread inequalities between women and men are, and whether the situation has improved or worsened compared with ten years ago: whether men or women are more likely to experience such .discrimination among particular groups of people (young, old, people with disabilities, migrants, single parents, and working parents with young children): and the areas of life (e.g. work, school, media, politics) where gender stereotypes are deemed to be most prevalent. It also examines Europeans’ general attitudes towards gender equality and, more specifically, the role of women in the workplace and the role of men at home. In .terms of tackling gender inequalities, the survey provides measures on Europeans’ opinions on which organisations have contributed most over the last ten years: whether this should be an EU priority: which areas should be dealt with most urgently: and what measures are considered to be the most effective at increasing the number of women in the workplace, and increasing the amount of time men spend on home care activities. .Finally, the survey explores the issue of violence against women – what Europeans think this encompasses and which specific forms of such violence the EU should focus its efforts on.' -

Beijing +25
The report is the fifth review of the overall developments at EU level related to the 12 areas .of concern as mentioned in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BPfA), at the United Nations World Conference on Women, 4-15 September 1995. The report focuses particularly on trends and developments observed from 2013 to March 2019, with exceptions such as the coming into force of the Work–Life Balance Directive or the elections to the European Parliament (May 2019). The review also reflects on the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all UN Member States in 2015. These include a specific SDG related to gender equality (SDG 5). .The executive summary highlights key findings on five themes: gender inequalities in the economy: gender-responsive public infrastructure, social protection and services: freedom from gender-based violence, stereotypes and stigma: parity democracy, accountability and gender-responsive institutions: peaceful and inclusive societies.- Creator
