Riassunto Even – or especially – in complex, emergency situations, a gender perspective is vital in order to take into account the
specific needs of women and men and the different risks to which they are exposed. Humanitarian actors are calling
for a gender-sensitive response to the Ukraine crisis, to help tackle barriers to accessing vital services, address
increased risks of gender-based violence and facilitate the reception and integration of refugees.

Riassunto International Women's Day on 8 March 2022 marks an occasion to reflect on the position of women as workers in the
EU transport sector. Women only represent on average around 16 % (2020) of total employees in the different
transport sectors and modes (land, water and air). In view of growing labour shortages in this important economic
sector, worsened by the coronavirus pandemic, this share needs to increase, according to experts.

Riassunto During its March session, the European Parliament is expected to vote on a report on the EU's 2020 action plan to
promote gender equality in the world. The report, prepared jointly by Parliament's Committees on Development
(DEVE) and on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) welcomes the EU action plan, but outlines several
areas in which the EU needs to do more, not least given the negative impact of the pandemic.

Riassunto This year's International Women's Day will, once again, be held in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, which has
exposed and exacerbated existing gender inequalities. To mark the occasion, Parliament's Committee on Women's
Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) is hosting a meeting with national parliaments on 3 March 2022, to explore the
potential of gender-sensitive recovery policies, spotlighting inter-related issues around unpaid care work, teleworking

Riassunto The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic crisis have impacted women differently than men in the
European Union. Even if gender issues have never been so high-up in the European political agenda, the effects of the
COVID-19 crisis are putting in jeopardy the progress achieved in the past decade in terms on the reduction of gender
inequalities in European member states. The effects of the COVID-19 sanitary crisis have also served to highlight the
need for member states to develop proactive – rather than reactive – gender mainstreaming policies. This year’s
International Women’s Day is a perfect opportunity to look back on the past EU initiatives and reflect how to address
the future, post-COVID- 19, challenges.

Femicide, its causes and recent trends: What do we know?

Settore di interventoDiritti dell''uomo | Questioni di genere, uguaglianza e diversità
Parole chiave condizione della donna | diritti civici | diritti della donna | discriminazione sessuale | donna | omicidio | violenza
domestica | violenza sessuale
Riassunto Femicide is a violation of the basic human rights to life, liberty and personal security, as well as an obstacle to social
and economic development. The term indicates the act of intentionally killing a female person, either woman or girl,
because of her gender, and it is the end-result of combined risk factors existing at the level of the individual,
interpersonal relations, community and society. This crime displays three prominent characteristics: women are
disproportionately killed by men; victims have previously experienced non-lethal violence; the rate at which women are
killed tends to remain steady over time. Estimates indicate that 87 000 women were intentionally killed in 2017, but the
exact number is unknown and suspected to be higher. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation and
reduced access to services. Femicide’s classification differs according to context, but most significantly includes:
killing by an intimate partner or family member; honour, dowry and witch-hunting deaths; femicide-suicide; pre- and
post-natal excess female mortality; infanticide; and deliberate neglect, rooted in a preference for sons over daughters.
Collecting accurate data is a strategic goal and necessary to facilitate the design of effective policies.

Riassunto Growing awareness of femicide has not universally translated into effective policy and programming. Though
legislation relating to gender-based violence and/or femicide exists in many countries, both persist. A combined social,
cultural, political and economic approach situates femicide prevention and responses at various levels, including
changes in individual behaviour. Using the term ‘femicide’ more frequently at international forums is crucial not only to
focus attention on the gendered nature of violence but also to act as a call for action. Situational studies reveal that
political will to end femicide differs from country to country. Femicide together with the patriarchal norms and misogyny
that precipitate it are not just extra-EU problems. Rather, they are of global concern, demanding a global response; in
non-EU countries this response is often dependent on donor funding. We now know more than ever what works to
reverse patterns of violence. These patterns can be broken by developing the capacity of women’s organisations and
strengthening global feminist movements that work with national and local activist networks. Additionally, engaging
men and boys in this process of transformation is vital if we are to address violence against women and girls and
ultimately end femicide.

Riassunto The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence
(Istanbul Convention) is the first instrument in Europe to set legally binding standards specifically to prevent gender-
based violence, protect victims of violence and punish perpetrators. EU accession to the Istanbul Convention is one of
the priorities in the EU 2020-2025 gender equality strategy. The EU signed the Convention in June 2017. Accession
now requires a Council Decision and prior consent by the European Parliament. Parliament adopted an interim
resolution in September 2017 and continues to review progress.

Riassunto The purpose of this study is to support the European Parliament (EP), in particular its standing delegations, in
implementing the commitment made in the EP resolution of 23 October 2020 on gender equality in EU foreign and
security policy. Based on desk research as well as quantitative and qualitative empirical analysis, the study describes
the existing EP practices of gender equality promotion, analyses whether the current practices deliver on the
commitment, and presents what can be learned both from the bottlenecks identified in the EP’s existing institutional
arrangements and from the practices of other national parliaments and international parliamentary institutions. The
study concludes that while the EP is highly advanced when it comes to gender mainstreaming in external relations,
there are a number of aspects that need improvement or fine-tuning. To facilitate the implementation of the
overarching EP gender action plan, the study provides a set of policy recommendations aimed at increasing the
effectiveness of gender equality promotion through parliamentary diplomacy. The recommendations comprise
proposals to strengthen the institutional framework, clarify the roles of gender focal points, increase access to gender-
specific information and training, maximise the use of interparliamentary meetings and DEG activities for gender
mainstreaming abroad, streamline the links with civil society and other external stakeholders, and improve the gender
dimension of oversight over EP external relations.

2020. This year, for its second edition, the debate will focus on ensuring that equal pay remains at the centre of the
response to the pandemic and recognition of women's major contribution to economic recovery.

Riassunto This European added value assessment (EAVA) supports the European Parliament's legislative-initiative report on a
'Proposal for a Council decision to identify gender-based violence as a new area of crime listed in Article 83(1) TFEU',
2021/2035(INL). The assessment reviews the significant harm generated by gender-based violence in the EU and
presents evidence supporting the classification of gender-based violence as a particularly serious crime with a cross-
border dimension. Through improving prevention, prosecution and protection, EU action could generate significant
benefits to victims and society; considering only the economic dimension, by decreasing the incidence of gender-
based violence, it could generate benefits in the order of €25.1 billion in the short term and between €54.4 billion and
€83.9 billion in the longer term. Moreover, the EAVA identifies complementary EU action that could enhance the
European added value of this policy option, such as expanding the mandate of the equality bodies, promoting the
quality of survey and administrative data and supporting education activities and training.

Riassunto EGOV analysed publicly available information on the corporate governance structures to determine the gender
balance on the boards of the banks in the euro area supervised by the ECB (“significant institutions”), comparing the
situation in 2014 with that in 2020. The general observation is that, overall, the share of female executive directors has
risen in significant banks from 15.3% to 27.4% (see figure 1) and the share of female supervisory directors has
increased from 22.3% to 31.7% (see figure 2, further down); these levels are still quite distant from an equal gender
distribution. Moreover, the differences between the nature of board (executive versus supervisory boards) and
between the type of bank (large versus small) have become smaller. Large banks are, for our purposes, those with
assets exceeding EUR 100 bn. Large differences in the share of female directors persist, though, if the data is
grouped at the country level.

Riassunto With the rise of new technology and social media gender-based cyber violence is a constantly growing threat with
impacts at individual, social and economic levels, on women and girls and on society as generally. Action taken so far
has been inadequate, and the cross-border nature of gender-based cyber violence has yet to be properly addressed
either. This European added value assessment (EAVA) complements the European Parliament’s own initiative
legislative report on Combating Gender based Violence: Cyber Violence (2020/2035(INL)). The costs to individuals
and society are substantial and shown to be in the order of €49.0 to €89.3 billion. A combination of legal and non-legal
policy options would generate the greatest European added value, promote the fundamental rights of victims, reduce
costs imposed on individuals and society, and support law enforcement and people working with victims.

Riassunto Bauhaus, arguably the most influential art and design movement in history, celebrated its centenary in 2019. While
many of the avant-garde genres that helped shape modern art focused on painting, the Bauhaus movement
encompassed a wide array of media, materials, and disciplines, ranging from the fine arts to architecture and design.
Bauhaus is renowned for its smart use of resources, simplicity, effectiveness and polished, smooth lines. Its principles
still influence the design of contemporary architecture and everyday objects, embodied in the belief that 'Less is more'.
In an era when women had no access to public education in many fields, Bauhaus director Walter Gropius proclaimed
that the institution would be open to 'any person of good repute, regardless of age or sex'. However, although the
movement was largely populated by women, the names recorded in history are mainly those of men, while female
Bauhaus creators are mostly remembered as their wives or assistants. Indeed, these pioneering creators were
tolerated, rather than welcomed. By many accounts, the early years of the Bauhaus restricted women to areas deemed
proper for their gender, such as textiles and weaving, while discouraging them from indulging in architecture, sculpture
or painting. Similarly, no matter how talented, women had very little opportunity to teach at the school and did not
receive apprenticeship certificates, which prevented them from acquiring master's diplomas and ultimately placed limits
on their careers. In spite of these difficulties, women Bauhauslers arguably turned such constraints into an advantage.
Under the direction of Gunta Stölzl, the Bauhaus weaving department became one of the school's most successful
fields, with fabrics from the weaving workshop being very successful commercially. Architect Lilly Reich, metal
designer Marianne Brandt, wood sculptor Alma Siedhoff Buscher and photographer Lucia Moholy are just some of
those iconic Bauhaus figures. In recent years, an increasing number of museums pays tribute to their pioneering work
and legacy.

Riassunto The debate on the participation and role of women in foreign affairs and international security is a timely and relevant
one, and is being raised with increasing frequency at both national and international levels. In particular, there is
growing attention to the imbalances in the representation of women in leadership and other key positions in the area of
foreign and security policy, as well as to the growing body of evidence regarding the positive effect of including women
in several key areas of foreign and security policy. While gaps persist, women's representation at management and
ministerial levels in the areas of foreign affairs and security has increased whether in the European Union (EU), the
United States (US) or at the United Nations (UN) level. Among these issues, women's role in peacekeeping receives
particular attention, as research has consistently shown that gender equality contributes to peace, and that peace
negotiations involving women have a better chance of being sustainable and effective. Gender-equal societies enjoy
better health, stronger economic growth and higher security. The UN and the EU have put pronounced emphasis on
the issue in the past two decades. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 established the 'women, peace and security'
(WPS) agenda in 2000. Since then, more WPS-related resolutions have been adopted, widening the scope and
breadth of gendered peace and security. These resolutions have been instrumental in changing the philosophy and
rhetoric focused on conflict and gender equality, thereby challenging the international community to do more. Several
initiatives are also being implemented at EU level, including through the 2018 EU strategic approach to WPS.
However, critics underline that a lot remains to be done, as women continue to be under-represented in the field of
foreign and security policy across the world. This is an update of an EPRS briefing published in September 2019.

Riassunto One hundred years after women won the vote or were first elected to parliament in some EU countries, the data show
that women continue to be under-represented in politics and public life, in the European Parliament, national
parliaments and governments, and local assemblies. The arguments for gender balance in politics are numerous, and
benefit not only women and female politicians, but also parties themselves and the rest of society. After all, women
form half the population and need to be better represented in power structures. However, there is now solid evidence
both of obstacles and of the strategies that are effective when it comes to increasing women's participation and
representation. Here, political parties and the media can be both barriers and important enablers. The EU has
committed to achieving a gender balance in political representation and participation as a matter of justice, equality
and democracy. Concrete recommendations have been made for achieving this goal, including specific action that
could be taken by the EU institutions, national governments, political parties, civil society and the media. The ongoing
coronavirus pandemic has shone a spotlight on the issue of women's leadership and its implications for gender
equality. This is an update of a Briefing from March 2019, drafted by Rosamund Shreeves and Martina Prpic, PE

rights and setting goals across a range of issues affecting women and girls. Under the BPfA, the EU and its Member
States committed to achieving concrete targets in twelve critical areas. The 25-year review was disrupted by the
coronavirus pandemic, which is now also having substantive impacts on gender equality per se. The European
Commission and Council are expected to report on Europe’s progress on the BPfA and future challenges, during the

2025, setting out measures to tackle persistent gender inequalities and bring a gender perspective to future priorities
such as the digital and green transitions. Since the Strategy's release, the coronavirus pandemic has exposed and
exacerbated gender inequalities, creating further challenges. Reports on the EU Gender Equality Strategy, women's
participation in the digital economy and the gender impacts of the pandemic are due to be put before the European
Parliament during its plenary session in January.

Lavoro precario da una prospettiva di intersezionalità e di genere e modalità per combatterlo

Parole chiave commissione PE | condizione della donna | donna | epidemia | lavoro atipico | lavoro femminile | malattia da
coronavirus | manodopera femminile | parità retributiva | personale di servizio | rapporto di ricerca | uguaglianza di
genere
Riassunto Ai fini di questo studio, la locuzione "lavoro precario" indica il lavoro contraddistinto da almeno una delle seguenti
caratteristiche: retribuzione molto bassa, orari di lavoro a intensità molto limitata o ridotta sicurezza del posto di lavoro.
Quest'ultimo criterio è interpretato in senso ampio in modo tale da includervi non solo i contratti temporanei ma anche i
posti di lavoro caratterizzati da poche opportunità di formazione e sviluppo professionale, dalla carenza di
rappresentanza collettiva e dall'assenza di diritti di tutela sociale o di prestazioni connesse con il lavoro.
L'intersezionalità, riguardante i modi in cui sesso e genere si intersecano con altre identità o caratteristiche personali e
il modo in cui tali intersezioni contribuiscono a esperienze specifiche di discriminazione, è parte integrante della
definizione di lavoro precario di questo studio. Le discriminazioni sotto forma di "disuguaglianze che si intersecano"
sulla base dell'età, del paese di origine, delle disabilità, del livello di istruzione o dell'orientamento sessuale delle
persone costituiscono un fattore determinante sia per l'esposizione delle persone al lavoro precario che per l'effettivo
svolgimento di tale tipo di lavoro. Sebbene il lavoro precario abbia un impatto evidente anche sugli uomini, sono le
donne ad essere particolarmente vulnerabili a tale fenomeno.

Riassunto This briefing forms part of an EPRS series offering syntheses of the pre-legislative state of play and consultation on
key European Commission priorities during the current five-year term. It summarises the state of affairs in the relevant
policy field, examines how existing policy is working on the ground, and, where possible, identifies best practice and
ideas for the future on the part of governmental organisations at all levels of European system of multi-level
governance. EPRS analysis of the positions of partner organisations at European, national, regional and local levels
suggests that they would like the following main considerations to be reflected in discussion of gender equality and the
forthcoming Commission proposal on binding pay transparency measures: * Input obtained from all levels of
governance indicates that both gender equality and pay transparency measures require an effective combination of
long- and short-term measures and legislative and non-legislative initiatives. There is a need expressed by the EU
level for EU legislation covering certain aspects of violence against women. If the EU's accession to the Istanbul
Convention remains blocked, an EU initiative could aim to achieve convention's main objectives. According to the
European Parliament, an EU legislative initiative should also address cross-border aspects, including human trafficking
and cyber-violence. Local, regional and national governmental organisations show good practice in non-legislative
measures, such as helplines, counselling services and shelters for women. * When it comes to gender equality at
work, a long-term perspective focused on changing harmful gender stereotypes could usefully be combined with short-
term measures to ensure a good work-life balance, according to obtained input. Governmental organisations at local
and regional levels show good practice in both of these areas. When it comes to binding pay transparency measures,
there is broad support for an EU initiative from national governmental organisations. * All levels of government are in
agreement on the importance of gender mainstreaming, for example in the budgetary processes, in order to take
account of the different needs of men and women. The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) has produced a
useful toolkit for applying gender perspective to EU funds. * There are also calls from various parts of the EU system of
multi-level governance to improve the availability of gender-disaggregated data in the EU.

Riassunto The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence
(Istanbul Convention) is the first instrument in Europe to set legally binding standards specifically to prevent gender-
based violence, protect victims of violence and punish perpetrators. Following the EU's signing of the Convention in
June 2017, the European Parliament's consent is required for the EU's accession to the Convention. Pending Council's
formal request for that consent, Parliament adopted an interim resolution in September 2017, and subsequently
reviewed progress towards EU accession, in April and November 2019. EU accession to the Istanbul Convention is
one of the priorities in the new EU 2020-2025 gender equality strategy.

Riassunto Violence against women is a violation of human rights and a form of gender-based discrimination. Rooted in
inequalities between men and women, it takes many forms. Estimates of the scale of the problem are alarming. Such
violence has a major impact on victims and imposes a significant cost burden on society. The instruments put in place
by the United Nations and Council of Europe, including the latter's 'Istanbul Convention', to which the EU plans to
accede, are benchmarks in efforts to combat violence against women. The EU is tackling the problem in various ways,
but has no binding instrument designed specifically to protect women from violence. Although there are similarities
between national policies to combat violence against women, the Member States have adopted different approaches
to the problem. Parliament's efforts have focused on strengthening EU policy in the area. Parliament has repeatedly
called for a European Union strategy to counter violence against women, including a legally binding instrument.
Stakeholders have expressed a range of concerns, also regarding the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the
related need to expand and adapt support for victims, and have highlighted the need for a comprehensive EU political
framework on eliminating violence against women. They have also launched new initiatives of their own. This is a
further update of an earlier briefing by Anna Dimitrova-Stull, of February 2014. The most recent previous edition was
from November 2019.

Riassunto Statistics and research results show that in recent decades, before the coronavirus pandemic, the EU's labour market
witnessed an increase in female employment rates. Women's employment seems to have been more resilient than
men's to the economic and financial crisis in 2008. This was due in part to long-term developments and changes in the
institutional framework, but also to women's tendency to work in particular sectors and accept flexible working
arrangements (such as part-time work or teleworking). The coronavirus crisis, however, has had a harsher impact on
women than on men when it comes to the labour market. One of the main reasons is that men tend more to work in
sectors considered as essential economic activities (with the exception of healthcare), whereas women's work often
involves contact with customers and clients, making teleworking impossible. Women have also been faced with
increased childcare needs, reducing their ability to work, while enjoying a lower level of social protection owing to their
working arrangements. Although EU legislation takes account of the situation of women in the labour market, and a
number of legislative and non-legislative initiatives have recently been taken at EU level, a number of challenges
remain. Areas where action is required include: the harmonisation of retirement schemes, to take the specific nature of
women's careers into account; better reconciliation of work and family life by means of more flexible employment
arrangements; and action to address the perennial gender pay gap. This is an update of an earlier briefing on Trends
in female employment, from October 2015, PE 569.049.

Riassunto This paper, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional
Affairs at the request of the FEMM Committee, provides basic information on access to abortion services in Slovakia.
The legal status of abortions in the country is under permanent pressure despite the legally binding decision by the
Constitutional Court back in 2007 which safeguarded women´s right to free choice. Eleven proposals to restrict
abortion have been presented in the National Parliament, in the last two years. Medical abortion is not available in the
country, and together with conscientious objection applied in health services and current COVID-19 pandemics access
to abortion services is further limited.

Riassunto Nel 2012 la Commissione europea ha presentato una proposta di direttiva volta a migliorare l'equilibrio di genere in
seno ai consigli di amministrazione delle società. In base a tale proposta, il genere sottorappresentato avrebbe dovuto
costituire il 40 % dei membri del consiglio di amministrazione delle società quotate in Borsa. Sebbene il Parlamento
europeo abbia appoggiato la proposta nel 2013, la direttiva non è ancora stata adottata, a causa delle riserve di vari
Stati membri in seno al Consiglio. Il Parlamento dovrebbe tenere una discussione sullo stato di avanzamento della
proposta di direttiva durante la prima tornata di ottobre.

Riassunto Outbreaks affect men, women and other genders differentially. This can be both the direct infections with a pathogen,
or the secondary effects of public health response policies. COVID-19 is no exception, and the gendered impacts thus
far and in the future are numerous. This study outlines some of the key gendered effects thus far and suggestions for
how these may extend into the post-crisis period based on currently available data on COVID and longer-term effects
of previous outbreaks. This includes the lack of sex-disaggregated data, the role of healthcare workers and care
workers, domestic violence, the impact of quarantine on feminised sectors of the economy, the additional unpaid
labour on women as a result of lockdown, access to maternity, sexual and reproductive health services.

Riassunto This paper provides insight into the current situation and recent trends in the abolition or reform of discriminatory laws
undermining women's rights in countries outside the European Union (EU). The paper aims to provide a nuanced
understanding of processes through which legal reforms take place. Among the factors that have proven to facilitate
legal reform are the ratification of international human rights treaties, feminist activism, legal and public advocacy by
women’s rights and other human rights non-governmental organisations (NGOs), political dialogue, and increased
women's representation in decision-making processes. Incremental steps supported by the EU towards the abolition of
discriminatory laws across all legal categories, EU engagement with a broad range of stakeholders at both national
and local levels, programmes supporting the gathering of gender-disaggregated data across all sectors and the
publicising of data to draw attention to gender inequality in law and practice, among others, can all contribute towards
successful reform of discriminatory laws. Striking the right balance between funding programmes that mainstream
gender and funding dedicated to gender-targeted programmes, together with the increased use of country gender
profiles, are essential in order to achieve quality legal reforms.
