Roadmap for Women's rights
Global Food and Nutrition Security

The European Commission’s "Roadmap for Women's Rights" outlines a long-term vision for achieving gender equality, based on core principles and policy objectives. The corresponding Declaration of principles for a gender-equal society has been endorsed endorsed on 16 Oct 2025.  

The roadmap aims to uphold and advance women’s rights and to address new gender equality challenges, such as technology-facilitated bias, discrimination, and violence. It acts as a "guiding compass" for policymakers, aiming to bridge remaining gaps in leadership and economic empowerment.  It provides a foundation for developing targeted legal and policy measures in the post-2025 Gender Equality Strategy and beyond and for inspiring gender-sensitive policies across other Commission initiatives.
