Europe for Women
 Equal treatment for women and men was a founding principle of the EU in 1957, when the Treaty of Rome laid down the principle of equal pay. Since the 1970s, European and national laws have expanded women’s choices and improved their lives. Nonetheless, women still earn 15 % less than men, and remain a minority in political decision-making and senior management positions. This booklet outlines EU policies to eliminate discrimination and achieve gender equality.

An Eoraip do mhná
 Bunphrionsabal de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh ab ea an bhail chéanna do mhná agus d’fhir in 1957, nuair a leag Conradh na Róimhe síos prionsabal an phá homhionainn. Ó na 1970idí i leith, leathnaigh dlíthe Eorpacha agus dlíthe náisiúnta na roghanna atá ag mná agus d’fheabhsaigh a saol dá réir. Bíodh sin mar atá, is gnáthach do thuilleamh na mban a bheith 15 % níos ísle ná tuilleamh na bhfear, agus is mionlach iad na mná i gcónaí i bpoist chinnteoireachta polaitiúla agus i bpoist bhainistíochta sinsearacha. Tugann an leabhrán seo cur síos ar bheartais an AE chun idirdhealú a dhíchur agus comhionannas a bhaint amach.
