"The equal participation of women and men in power and decision making is strongly promoted by the European Union. In particular, women’s political participation is fundamental to democracy and essential to the achievement of sustainable development and peace. Women are still under-represented in political decision-making assemblies across the European Member States. Women constitute 24% of the members in national parliaments.
This vote reaffirms that the active participation of women, on equal terms with men, at all levels of decision making, is essential to the achievement of equality, sustainable development, peace and democracy. In order to enhance women’s political participation, there is a need to address structural barriers that prevent women from participating in politics. To create an enabling environment for women to take part in political life at all levels is another required measure. The reconciliation of work, private and family life is recognised at the EU level as an important priority for achieving gender equality and thereby making it easier for women to participate in political life."@en1
