9 candidates for Landratswahl in Landkreis Traunstein in Bavaria — 8 men, and the poster walls make it look like even fewer: the usual Christian, Andreas and Sepp (Heinz and Hans not pictured😆)

Same faces, same vibes.

Today at 16:00, I’ll be joining a great online discussion (with @sarahdingler.bsky.social ) on women in EU institutions—covering representation, careers, and change.

Bonus: it’s virtual and the dress code is lounge (cocktails optional)

Austria 🇦🇹 is often in the lower quintile when it comes to support for gender equality measures. Only 26% agree that parental support should be equal between men and women. 😐

#GenderEquality
ps. #Germany not much higher.

Women's representation has been stagnating around 30% for the past 30 years, after peaking at an all-time high of 36.4% in 2013—only to decline since.

32.4% after the 2025 Bundestag election. This is not progress.

Some early figures from the #ESS Round 11 on attitudes about #GenderEquality in Europe presented by the fab @hildecoffe.bsky.social at the EIGE's Gender Equality Forum 2024!
