Read FEPS new book ‘A new Gender Equality Contract for Europe’!

Just as the European Commission is about to enter its new term and as concerns have been high on the lack of ambition on equality policy, this publication offers a timely reflection on the need for a new gender contract for Europe!
Read the new open-access book “A New Gender Equality Contract for Europe”, which argues why gender equality should become a unifying force (the glue!) towards more egalitarian, solidaristic and caring societies.
The topics include education, reproductive health, labour, care, cultural rights, democracy, climate, and Feminist Foreign Policy. Featuring gender experts from diverse disciplines and backgrounds across Europe, the book connects feminist academic intelligence with hands-on policymaking.

By FEPS and Fondation Jean-Jaurès, published by Palgrave Macmillan.
