The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) marked the International Women’s Day 2014 by presenting the Institute’s research in the area of women and decision-making to representatives of Lithuanian Government, embassies and non-governmental organisations. 'Elections to the European Parliament will be held in May and the first Gender Equality Index for the European Union shows that the biggest gender gap in the EU is in the area of Power. As the Index points out, the EU is not even halfway towards gender equality in the area of decision-making. We all hope that the results of the elections will support bridging this huge gender gap. And we hope for more women in the Parliament to ensure the change', said Virginija Langbakk, Director of EIGE. |
