Ahead of International Women's Day on 8 March, the EU Commission released its Gender Equality Strategy, outlining actions for the next five years, including, among others, ending gender-based violence, also online, and ensuring equal participation and opportunities in the labour market, including equal pay. As part of the strategy, the Commission has launched a public consultation on pay transparency.

Below is a compilation of articles with a particular focus on business and human rights, including responses from trade unions to the strategy, urging the Commission to work with the unions at member state level to achieve ratification of the ILO convention on violence and harassment at work.
