✍️ Cecilia Francisco Carcelén's new brief for G5+ explores how the EU can make the green transition truly inclusive by centering care work, redistributing power, and amplifying feminist voices.
💡 From care work to climate governance, from extractivism to food systems – this report reimagines the European Green Deal through an ecofeminist lens, and calls for bold, gender-responsive, justice-driven policies.
🌍 The European Green Deal needs feminism.
Our latest policy brief shows why the fight for climate justice must go hand in hand with the fight for gender equality.
We strongly advocated for a directive on gender mainstreaming — because true gender equality must be embedded in all policies and processes.

👉 Gender equality is not just a goal — it's a driver for democracy. Stay tuned for more updates on the next gender equality strategy of the EU Commission!
Yesterday, at the Centre Albert Borschette in Brussels, the #EuropeanCommission consulted civil society on the future strategy for gender equality. Gender Five Plus was there to make its voice heard.

📍It’s time to break the male monopoly at peace negotiations.
📍It’s time to bring in different voices, different expertise, different perspectives.
Parity is not a nice-to-have. It’s a must-have for just, lasting, and inclusive peace.
On April 17, 2025, a high-level meeting on Ukraine took place in Paris. Around the table: 11 men, 0 women.
Political leaders, diplomats, decision-makers — but no women, no civil society, no peacebuilders.
Together, let’s push for a safer, fairer, and more equal Europe. 💜

The Gender Equality Index 2024 is out, and while progress is happening, the data is a wake-up call. The EU’s average score is 68.6/100, showing slow but steady improvement. Yet, violence against women remains one of the biggest barriers to true gender equality.
The EU must defend its commitments!

With a more conservative European Parliament, we already see:
❌ No reaction to Italy’s surrogacy ban
❌ No reaction to Bulgaria’s anti-LGBTQ+ law
❌ The ‘Commissioner for Equality’ role downgraded
We repeat: LGTBIQ+ rights are human rights. No room for political compromise.
