Strategia per creare le condizioni affinché tutti possano scegliere liberamente il proprio percorso di vita, prosperare e avere un ruolo guida indipendentemente dal genere, dall'origine razziale o etnica, dalla religione o dalle convinzioni personali, dalla disabilità, dall'età o dall'orientamento sessuale.

Gender equality is a core value of the EU and an aspiration uniting European institutions, governments and the public. The EU has made significant strides towards achieving a Union of Equality and is a global champion of women’s rights. Europeans enjoy some of the most advanced legislation worldwide to protect their rights and combat gender-based violence.

Gender equality is indispensable for achieving the EU’s strategic goals, from upholding democracy and the rule of law to fostering social cohesion and bolstering security and competitiveness. Equal rights and opportunities for women and men, in all their diversity, are instrumental in sustaining Europe’s vibrant democracy, strengthening representativeness, institutional legitimacy, and democratic decision-making. Inequality wastes talent, blocks careers, and reduces productivity. Improving gender equality in the EU could lead to a 9.6% increase in GDP per capita and an additional 10.5 million jobs by 2050.

An escalating backlash against gender equality threatens hard-won progress, while the ambition of a gender-equal Europe is not yet achieved. In this context, the Commission reaffirmed its strong commitment to promoting gender equality in the Roadmap for Women’s Rights, adopted in March 2025. All 27 Member States, EU institutions, and numerous civil society and international organisations endorsed the objectives of the Roadmap.

This Gender Equality Strategy builds on the achievements of its predecessor and translates the long-term vision of the Roadmap for Women’s Rights into action. It will ensure that the EU contributes to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality by 2030, the renewed objectives of the Beijing Platform for Action, and the obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. To do so, this Strategy proposes concrete actions for each of the eight principles of the Roadmap for Women’s Rights, keeping gender equality at the heart of the EU’s action both within the EU and across the world. The Strategy follows a dual approach, combining targeted actions with systematic gender mainstreaming across all policy areas.
