EU Law and Gender-Balanced Boards: Making Equality Effective

Women represent most of the frontline against Covid- 19 and will be especially affected by the social and economic consequences that follow. Recognition that womens' rights and gender equality should be part of the COVID-19 recovery strategy should be straight forward, however this does not seem to be the case. One hindering factor is the absence of women in decision making. Research shows that when women have less decision making power either in households, the boardroom or in governments then women's needs are less likely to be understood or met. As we respond to the crisis, we must include measures that put women into decision making roles, part of that strategy must be to advance the Women on Boards Directive.
