This study investigates the degree of progress in gender budgeting in the EU since the publication of the 2015 study. It focuses on the European Parliament’s 2017 resolution entitled ‘EU Funds for Gender Equality’. Results show that the absence of overall and consistent commitment to gender equality in the EU budget and the budgetary process continues. The following policy areas analyzed are: employment, migration and home affairs, development and cooperation, research and innovation and budget and justice. The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union are called up to take legislative action to anchor gender equality to all policies that receive funding from the EU budget.
