[Brussels, 23 April 2015] The European Commission published a special Eurobarometer report on Gender Equality (82.4) last month. It provides a wealth of information about European citizens’ views on equality between women in the EU.
According to the new statistics, a large majority of citizens (76%) believe that tackling inequality between women and men should be a priority for the EU. Additionally, around nine in ten Europeans (91%) agree that tackling inequality between men and women is necessary to establish a fairer society. A similar proportion (89%) agree that equality between men and women will help women become more economically independent.
