  • Whether mainstreaming has managed to affect or transform core policy areas in the European Union;
  • The failed maternity leave and the impact for mainstreaming efforts and gender equality at the workplace;
  • Whether directives and relevant legislation changes have made significant impact on the prosecution of gender-based violence and discrimination;
  • Europe’s migration challenge and whether, as well as how, gender mainstreaming will inform relevant upcoming policies and actions;
