The EU just made its biggest progress on gender equality in the past 10 years!
The Gender Equality Index tracks how we’re closing the gender gap, and since 2010, our score has improved by 7.9 points.
Key highlights: Employment gap is shrinking
Women still do most housework & care
Economic decision-making is more balanced
Gender parity in sport? Still a challenge
Progress is real—but there’s more to do.

Does this mean we can easier apply for positions in other countries in differents languages and no longer need to translate documents?
When people don't have a problem with that, authorities of other EU states want translated copies of documents, no matter if Schengen allows to live and travel anywhere. That only works if other states have the official language.
AGREE!! Men should have the same rights as women!! White the same as black and heteros the same as LGBTQ+1-whatever!
There is no space for racism in the EU. Or anywhere.
No one should be denied a job, home, or opportunity because of their race or ethnic background.
The EU stands united against racism, for a fairer Union where inclusion and equality are at the centre.
Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and every day.
RT by @EUatUN: We must reach out to all people, including disadvantaged communities.
Only with comparable and reliable data, our policies will be able to target and ensure full inclusion of all EU citizens #Unionofequality.
Thank you @sirpa_rautio for the inspiring discussion.

R to @EU_Commission: This is particularly important for women, who still earn less than men for the same work.
The new rules improve access to justice for victims of pay discrimination by ensuring:
Pay transparency for jobseekers Right to information for employees Reporting on gender pay gap Joint pay assessment
