Cette année, la commission de la condition de la femme (UNCSW), la réunion annuelle de haut niveau des Nations unies sur l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, mettra en avant l’éradication de la pauvreté des femmes. Pour sa première participation à cet événement, le CESE contribuera à la problématique choisie par une déclaration comprenant dix points d’action en faveur de l’autonomisation économique et la protection sociale des femmes.
Les inégalités en matière de prise en charge d’autrui, les écarts de rémunération et de retraite entre les hommes et les femmes, les normes et stéréotypes culturels continuent d’avoir pour conséquence que la pauvreté touche davantage les femmes que les hommes
In Europe's rural communities, the silent struggle for equality and opportunity for young women is still ongoing. On 22 November, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) held a debate on gender equality and youth in rural areas during the meeting of its Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment. The event is in line with the EESC's commitment to the Rural Pact and the European Gender Equality Week.
Marking the International Day for the elimination of violence against women on 25 November, EESC member José Antonio Moreno Díaz, rapporteur for the opinion SOC/726 Combatting violence against women, believes that violence against women and girls is a tragedy that is sweeping Europe.
On 21 November, the EESC's Section for Employment, Social Affairs and Citizenship held a debate on the issue of violence against women and girls, calling for the local, national, regional and EU level to join forces.

The EESC's Section for Economic and Monetary Union and Economic and Social Cohesion (ECO) held a debate on 15 November addressing gender disparities in access to financial markets. Studies highlight these gaps, sparking ongoing debates as to their causes. Women-led EU businesses receive only 2% of venture capital, apply for fewer loans and invest cautiously. The talks explored how these disparities affected society and the economy and searched for policy solutions.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility has increased the capacity for social investment in the EU.
