EIGE will reveal the new scores for gender equality in the EU and show trends over time during an online event on 28 October. Decision-makers and experts will discuss the findings of the Gender Equality Index, and highlight areas where the EU can improve.

The conference will also explore this year’s special focus of the Index: health. We will dive into the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and look at the topics of mental and sexual and reproductive health.
