Parental Child Abductions to Third Countries
Cross-border parental child abductions in the EU are governed by The 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and (except for Denmark) the Brussels II-ter Regulation. Countries outside of the EU may or may not be Contracting States to ‘the Convention’, but will not be bound by Brussels II-ter. Research has found that the often negative, long-lasting impact of abduction may continue throughout the lifecycle of those who have been abducted. It may also affect future ...
Women in politics in the EU: State of play in 2024
One hundred years after women won the right to vote in elections or were first elected to parliament in some EU Member States, they continue to be under-represented in politics and public life. This is true whether looking at the composition of the European Parliament or that of national parliaments, governments and local assemblies. On the other hand, gender balance in politics benefits not only women and female politicians but also political parties themselves and the rest of society. Women form ...

Rovnost žen a mužů ve sportu
Sport, který je pevně spjat s maskulinitou, je jednou z genderově nejnerovnějších sociálních institucí v moderní společnosti, ve které tradičně dominují muži, a to jak z hlediska účasti, tak z hlediska řízení. Z účasti na prvních moderních olympijských hrách, které se konaly v roce 1896 v Aténách, byly ženy vyloučeny, a teprve o čtyři roky později dostaly možnost se začít postupně zapojovat. Přestože účast a zapojení žen v olympijském hnutí se postupně rozvíjejí, dívkám a ženám na celém světě sport ...

Violence against women active in politics in the EU: A serious obstacle to political participation
Women continue to be under-represented in EU countries at all levels of political decision-making as well as in political parties. The origins of this situation are complex, but one reason stands out: violence against women active in politics discourages many women from entering the political arena. Female politicians are exposed to two severe and intersecting forms of violence: political violence and gender-based violence. Violence against people active in politics, whether men or women, is a major ...
Deset oblastí, kde pro vás Evropa může udělat více
Celosvětové výzvy, včetně změny klimatu, geopolitických konfliktů, oslabování demokratických zásad a sociálních nerovností, ovlivňují každodenní životy lidí i vyhlídky do budoucna. Společná evropská iniciativa by v příštích deseti letech mohla pomoci tyto výzvy řešit – poskytnout by mohla až 3 biliony EUR ročně. To představuje přibližně 18 % hrubého domácího produktu (HDP) EU, což odpovídá částce 6 700 EUR na občana ročně. S ohledem na práci Evropského parlamentu ve volebním období 2019-2024 jsme ...
