At the #G7 ministerial on Women’s Economic Empowerment I stated that we must ensure that equal work results in equal pay regardless of sex. Our Pay Transparency Directive will require companies to disclose how much they pay men/women and close the EU’s 13% gender pay gap. https://t.co/BMm0aDbVG5

I addressed the @EUatUN side event on Developing Skills for Employment at #COSP16. The employment gap of persons with disabilities remains too high in the EU. Our Disability Employment Package works to facilitate employers’ recruitment and employment of persons with disabilities.

I addressed the @WPLeadersOrg #WPLSummit2023 about the importance of women’s participation and leadership in decision-making. Only 1/3 of members of national parliaments in the EU are women. We must do better as gender equality strengthens our democracies. #UnionOfEquality

In a message to the @OIIEurope Community Conference, I spoke of our upcoming EU-wide study on the barriers faced by #intersex people. It details the difficulties they face in all areas of life as well as the prevalence of non-consented and non-vital interventions imposed on them.

Today I spoke at the @EU_CoR plenary debate to mark the #EUDiversityMonth. Regions and local authorities play a key role in our aim to build a #UnionOfEquality. This is why we have doubled funding to support regions to act against discrimination and intolerance.
