• Descrição: This report assesses the state of gender equality in the European Parliament and in national parliaments in the European Union (EU). Achieving gender-sensitive parliaments requires prioritising gender equality as a social, political and economic objective and transforming parliaments' culture, processes, practices and outputs towards advancing gender equality. This involves ensuring that women and men in all their diversity are equally represented in parliament and can equally participate in parliamentary decision-making. It also requires measures to support members of parliament (MPs) and parliamentary employees in balancing their personal and professional responsibilities and fostering safe and inclusive working environments free from gender-based violence, sexual harassment and discrimination. In addition, it involves setting up structures and tools to ensure that a gender perspective is mainstreamed in all parliamentary work, processes and outputs. The report presents the findings of the second European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) data collection on gender-sensitive parliaments. Based on data collected between May and August 2023, primarily through desk research (and interviews with contact points from national parliaments when data were not publicly available), this report presents a comparative assessment of findings from the European Parliament and the national parliaments of the 27 EU Member States. It assesses their performance in five areas outlined in EIGE's self-assessment framework for gender-sensitive parliaments.
