Equality plans

The Act establishing the Institute, as well as the Act on Equality between Women and Men, requires Emakunde to draw up a General Plan setting out the general guidelines for equality policies for the Basque Autonomous Community.

Like the seven plans that preceded it, the 8th plan called Strategy 2030 for the Equality of Women and Men in the Basque Autonomous Community constitutes the reference framework to guide the actions of the Basque public authorities in the field of equality.

Gender Equality index

As a challenge to be achieved by 2030, the Strategy for the Equality of Women and Men establishes 11 goals linked to a higher level of equality between women and men in the Basque Country.

The first of these goals is to increase the current Gender Equality Index in the Basque Country to over 75 points, so the Basque Country becomes a leading country on gender equality in Europe.
