"Gender equality in decision making is a question of quality and equality. More balanced gender participation contributes to more diversified and, therefore, better decisions being adopted. In order to enhance the participation of women in politics, there is a need to address the structural barriers that prevent women from participating in politics. Creating an environment enabling women to take part in political life at all levels is another measure required. Establishing a work-life balance is recognised at EU level as an important priority for achieving gender equality and facilitating the opportunities for women to take part in political life. The Commission and Member States must design and implement effective gender equality policies and strategies aimed at achieving parity in terms of participation in political decision making and leadership at all levels, especially in the areas of macro-economic policy, trade, labour, budgets, defence and foreign affairs. This should include assessing the impact and providing the public with appropriate equality indices and indicators, ensuring quantified targets, clear action plans and regular monitoring mechanisms, followed up with binding corrective actions and their monitoring where the targets set have not been met by the deadlines."@en1
