Abstract
European Union. First we will briefly discuss how this story relates to European integration
in general, and why European Union policy seems to see women primarily as workers. Then
we will look at how policy on equality has evolved in three stages. Initially, policy focuses on
the civil and economic rights of women, then it moves to considering how to advance the real
situation of women and address roadblocks to their progress and finally it attempts to look at
the relationship between the sexes through a gender perspective and apply those insights to
policy using the techniques and strategies of gender mainstreaming. The most recent challenge
for the EU is to address the issue of differences within the groups of women and men,
thanks to intersecting issues of equality such as race and sexual orientation.
