Development of gender equality policies in the European Union

Abstract

Nowadays, gender equality is very often mentioned as a key element of both internal and international policy. An example of the ongoing development of this process can be found in the bodies of the European Union, which are taking a number of strategic steps and initiatives towards gender equality. This article therefore looks at the individual articles of the Directives and Regulations of the Union in this area, the evolution of activities, the current situation in the Member States and the most important elements of strategy in this area both in previous years and in those currently being implemented.
