Long way to go to break gender stereotypes in the business community There is a long way to go to break gender stereotypes in the business community, MEP Josianne Cutajar told CDpro.
The Socialists and Democrats MEP is shadow rapporteur to the Industry, Research and Energy Committee, which worked on addressing the female entreprenuerial gap. “We should not only look at the long-term challenges and measures but should also understand the current situation and collectively work with the Member States and stakeholders to act upon effective policies and mechanisms that instil real change,” Cutajar said. “We should start focusing more on measuring the actual results of policies and budget allocations when it comes to gender mainstreaming,” she added. 2021 is important because it is the first year of the new MultiAnnual Financial Framework programming period and the beginning of what the European Commission defined the Digital Decade. “We have the formidable opportunity to shape the future of many sectors and empower women to lead this change,” Cutajar said.
