Gender Equality - fifth Congress briefing

(19 February 2019) Gender equality is absolutely central to EPSU’s work as we fight to defend public services for the millions of women who rely on them and to tackle inequality faced by women working in different  services. In sectors such as eldercare and childcare jobs are  predominantly done by women and they have been seriously and unjustifiably undervalued for many years

This congress briefing explores how EPSU and its affiliates have focused on the need to reduce the gender pay gap as well as the other manifestations of gender equality in pensions and employment. It gives examples of our initiatives in recent years which we know need to be continued and strengthened over the next Congress period.
