⚖️ On the World Day of Social Justice, we reflect on the challenges that continue to impact different groups in society. EIGE’s latest evidence identifies key areas for action: 🔹 One in three women in the EU have experienced physical or sexual violence, yet many cases go unreported: https://lnkd.in/dj4BFPK7 🔹 The gender pay gap remains at 13% in the EU, meaning women continue to earn less than men for the same job: https://lnkd.in/etwdZncv 🔹 Unequal access to parental leave and a lack of affordable, high-quality care services keep many women out of the workforce: https://lnkd.in/eV3KbpAk Freedom from violence, fair wages and equal opportunities must be the foundation of a just society. #WorldDayOfSocialJustice #GenderEquality #EqualOpportunities #EIGE 

🚨 Without data, there is no action. 🚨 That’s why we need an EU-wide framework to measure cyber violence against women and girls. Without harmonised data, the problem stays invisible. EIGE’s new framework helps Member States:  ✅ Collect reliable data on cyberviolence against women and girls  ✅ Compare and report cases consistently  ✅ Build a clear picture of its prevalence, impact, and response Read more: 🔗https://lnkd.in/eeQjDHbb #CyberViolence #GenderEquality #DataForAction #EIGE
