Breaking Male Dominance in EU: Mission Possible?
Public lecture by Drude Dahlerup (University of Stockholm) and inter-departmental workshop
Seminarraum „Alte Kapelle“ (Institut für Ethik und Recht in der Medizin)
Spitalgasse 2-4, 1090 Wien
Seminar, Workshop, Kurs
Recent examples of stagnation in women’s political representation, as reported by D. Dahlerup for eight countries, challenge our notions of continuous progress towards gender equality.
The European Union’s role in prohibiting discrimination and establishing equality will be presented: EU directives regarding equal treatment, ECJ jurisprudence, recent controversies regarding women’s representation on company boards, etc.
The workshop will also consider the real-world economic effects of equality legislation and make a comparison between the EU and the US.
