EU Equality Strategies: Replacement and Renewal
EU Equality Strategies: Replacement and Renewal
Authors: Niall Crowley
This new publication by Niall Crowley, commissioned by Equinet, offers a comprehensive analysis of the EU’s current equality strategies as they approach critical junctures in 2025. Highlighting the perspectives and experiences of Equality Bodies across Europe, the report advocates for a more ambitious and inclusive framework for equality at the EU and national levels. It examines the importance of independent Equality Body involvement in strategy development and implementation and explores the potential of an overarching “umbrella equality strategy” to address cross-cutting issues like intersectionality, digital inequality, socio-economic discrimination and the role of Equality Bodies. The publication also calls for the renewal and expansion of ground-specific strategies, addressing age equality, socio-economic disparities, and national minorities.
