About
PES Women promotes gender equality and women’s representation both inside and outside the Party of European Socialists.
Although we live in the 21st century, we still face unacceptable situations. Women earn 16% less than men on average; violence against women kills seven women a day; and sexual and reproductive rights are not yet established across the whole EU.
We are fighting to change this. We work to ensure that all women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities.
