Metadatos de publicación
The report emphasises several important trends. Firstly, although recognised as a fundamental value of the European Union, the status and profile of gender equality currently shows signs of decreased importance. Independent bodies for the protection against discrimination on the ground of sex are increasingly replaced by bodies for the protection against discrimination on various grounds. Whereas the importance of acknowledging the heterogeneity of women and men in terms of age, class, disability, ethnicity/race and sexual orientation is crucial to the recognition of diverse experiences among women and men, the consequences of downplaying gender as a structural dimension and underlying element of all inequalities should not be overlooked. The political, social and administrative remit of gender equality has started shifting towards legal and procedural mechanisms addressing discrimination at the individual level. Gender equality is more seldom addressed and promoted through policies and institutions that tackle gender gaps and the disadvantages of certain groups of women and is more often viewed as a human right requiring legal measures to protect individual citizens against discrimination. This approach marginalises gender equality as a political goal and undermines gender equality as an important policy area in itself.
