Key points

The report evaluates the effectiveness of current EU methods for ensuring budget spending promotes gender equality.
Between 2021 and 2024, approximately 12% of the EU budget (around 158.4 billion euros) was estimated to contribute to promoting gender equality.
The current methodology uses a scoring system (0, 1, or 2) to categorize how much an EU program contributes to gender equality objectives.
The Parliament calls for the creation of a 'gender equality safeguard mechanism' to review and potentially suspend any legislative proposal that undermines equality goals.
