Carlien Scheele
Director,
European Institute for Gender Equality
Achieving gender equality is a movement – not a moment. It’s not women who need to be fixed. It’s not people that need to be fixed. We need to fix the systems that perpetuate gender inequalities throughout our societies.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Giving evidence a pathway:
My first commitment is to ensure that gender equality evidence does not stop at analysis but becomes a clear pathway to action, by equipping policymakers and stakeholders with accessible, high-quality insights that drive accountability, implementation and tangible progress across Europe.
Investing in a competitive Europe:
My second commitment is to position gender equality as a driver of Europe’s competitiveness, powered by investment in care, equal sharing of care, and gender balanced skills and innovation. This is how we strengthen productivity and long-term resilience - the cost of inaction is simply too high.
