Under this heading, we invite members of the Committee to draw attention to topics that are of particular interest to them, that are at the heart of their activities. For the third time since 2017, the European Parliament is organising a European Gender Equality Week from 24 to 30 October. This topic is a priority for the EU as a whole, and especially for the Committee, which advocates for equal rights. 

Maria Nikolopoulou, president of the EESC Equality Group, points out the elements that link the two institutions, how the Committee wants to get involved in this project, what issues need most attention, and what concrete actions will be implemented in the EESC during the Gender Equality Week.
