This report released, on 25 November 2024 by the European Institute for Gender Equality, presents, for the first time, selected key results of the EU gender-based violence survey based on data from all 27 Member States.

Are you juggling multiple responsibilities inside and outside of work? Struggling to find the perfect balance? It’s time to rethink how we approach it.
The traditional concept of work-life balance often falls short because:
It implies that work and life are entirely separate, and
It suggests that a perfect balance is achievable—something many of us have found unrealistic.
Introducing work-life integration—a more holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of our personal and professional lives. In this exclusive webinar, two esteemed academics, a seasoned practitioner in work-life integration, and a woman leader from the corporate world joined for an insightful discussion on how this model can unlock potential in today’s fast-paced world.
We’ve often heard Hobbes say: “Man is a wolf to man”, meaning that threat and war are at the heart of our humanity. But what about women? Is war only a “man’s business”? Are they only destined to be victims of war, without having their names inscribed on monuments? How are women’s rights and lasting peace linked? We’re talking about it!
Based on the past mentoring programs and experiences, Women STEM-Up project has developed a mentoring program for female undergraduate students as mentees, and university staff and women STEM professionals as mentors. The project partners have now launched a call for mentors: women STEM professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are interested or involved in supporting women in STEM fields. Whoever is committed and passionate about women staying in STEM fields and look for ways to inspire and support them, this is a great opportunity.
Gallup surveyed 21,543 U.S. employees and compared their well-being across three primary work environments: remote, hybrid, or on-site, and their findings are worthless.
Gallup missed the mark because they failed to ask a single question about the support they receive at home. How can we expect a complete picture of the quality of a remote or hybrid employee work environment without understanding the home environment? The world of work has changed since Covid. We need to rethink how we support our modern world, including considerations of the home environment.
With this as background, here is how couples can be a team at home so they can be great at work.
The study suggests several avenues for future research to further understand and address gender imbalances in the workforce. One key area is exploring how different aspects of job design, beyond recruitment strategies, might influence men’s decisions to enter female-dominated fields. Additionally, investigating the long-term effects of these interventions on both male and female workers’ career progression and job satisfaction could provide a more complete picture of diversity and inclusion in these sectors. Finally, expanding the research to other industries and cultural contexts would help determine the broader applicability of these findings and refine strategies for fostering gender diversity across various industries.
