- Description
- This report describes the 2019 results from EIGE’s Gender-sensitive Parliaments tool. The study aims to enlarge gender sensitivity in parliaments across the European Union. It is the first EU-wide assessment which analyses gender sensitivity. Parliaments can use the tool to assess their level of gender equality, identify the areas where further efforts should be made and monitor their progress in this respect. Results illustrate that gender quotas has contributed to higher parliamentary participation rates of women. On the other hand, over half of the parliaments have a lack of gender-sensitive physical spaces (such as crèches) and adequate display of the historical and current achievements of women in politics.
