Scientific Analysis and Advice on Gender Equality in the EU

SAAGE offers reliable, independent, and rigorous scientific advice on gender equality to the European Commission. Its network of Country Experts provides up-to-date knowledge on the current and perspective situation and policies in all EU Member States. The monitoring and collection of information at country level are complemented with thematic insights thanks to the involvement of a wide network of Thematic Experts. Their research activities – to be reported in studies, and discussed in seminars with EU officials – offer detailed knowledge on very specific topics. By coupling the country level and thematic perspectives, SAAGE will strengthen the European Commission's knowledge base on gender equality, and will support the adoption of effective policy initiatives for the advancement of gender equality in the EU.

Obstetric Violence: Towards new understanding and responses

Addressing gender-based violence has been an ongoing commitment of the European Union (EU). Currently, the European Commission ‘Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025’ identifies that ‘gender-based violence, in all its forms, remains under-reported and overlooked, both inside and outside the EU. The EU will do all it can to prevent and combat gender-based violence, support and protect victims of such crimes, and hold perpetrators accountable for their abusive behaviour’.

Women and the Media: Realising a Potential for Gender Equality

The Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025 aims at realising the potential of the media, in that the media has ‘considerable say in shaping people’s beliefs, values and perception of reality, and are thus further key channels for changing attitudes and challenging stereotypes’. The Commission is committed to a number of actions to progress gender equality through this key sector. The purpose of this thematic seminar is to explore and discuss:

Energy poverty, the cost of living, and the changing world of work and their implications for gender equality

The annual seminar will focus on sharing information and generating perspectives on the issues of energy poverty, the cost of living, and the changing world of work and their implications for gender equality and gender equality policy.
