Challenges to Women’s Human Rights in the EU
Publisher: European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights Volume: 31 pages, pdf Description: Women and girls in the European Union (EU) experience persistent gender discrimination and gender-based violence, as evidence collected by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) confirms. This severely limits the ability of women and girls to enjoy their rights and to participate on an equal footing in society. Recent revelations on the global extent to which women and girls experience sexual harassment stress the urgent need to tackle socially, culturally and structurally entrenched gender inequalities.
