The European Commission presented a new five-year gender equality strategy on 5 Mar 2020 that aims to achieve gender equality in Europe. The strategy includes legislative proposals for achieving pay transparency, the agreement of European Union (EU) proposals that would require gender-balanced company boards, and the criminalization of sexual harassment. The strategy also includes initiatives to address gender-based violence and stereotypes; ensure equal participation and opportunities in the labor market, including equal pay; and achieve gender-balance in decision-making and politics.
