machinery during the last five years. In some MS the National Action Plan for Gender Equality has not been updated. Several of the newer MS have now set up fundamental machinery for gender equality, have thus reached a basic level regarding the status of gender-equality bodies and have introduced gender mainstreaming in some policy areas. In the case of those MS that have been working with gender equality and gender mainstreaming for a longer period of time, not many new initiatives have been taken, for example in the development of gender-mainstreaming strategy. EU commitments to achieve the objectives of the Beijing PfA The Council of the European Union decided on indicators in December 2006 and recommended that the MS continue active cooperation with, and promote the involvement of, the civil society actors in the pursuit of equality between women and men. In particular, it also urged all MS and the Commission to improve and strengthen the development and regular use of mainstreaming methods, particularly gender budgeting and gender impact assessment when drafting legislation, policies, programmes and projects. The Council also encouraged the MS and the Commission to provide national and EU statistical offices with institutional and financial support so that all relevant official statistics related to individuals were collected, compiled analysed and presented by sex and age and reflect problems and issues relating to women and men and the promotion of gender equality. 5.9. Human Rights of Women (I) In general, human rights of women are reported on (to the UNECE) to a limited extent by the MS, when compared with reporting on the other critical areas of concern. One reason for this might be that human rights issues are a broad concept that covers all the other subjects described in the country reports. A challenge highlighted in many country reports is the need to tackle multiple discrimination and the cross-cutting forms of marginalisation and inequalities such as ethnicity and disability. In addition, human rights issues that appear not to be covered in the reports, but which have been under discussion within the EU, include sexual rights, such as same-sex marriage, adoption of children by same-sex couples, and various forms of bodily integrity, such as reproductive self-determination. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 140 ANNEX DG G EN
5.10. Women and the Media (J) The media, advertising and other public spheres reflect the lack of gender equality in society, while at the same time helping to cement it. Research shows that images and language have become coarser over the past ten years. In many UNECE reports, the need to combat this situation is addressed, and the need to bring about a dialogue with the media and the advertising industry about their role and responsibility in influencing children and young persons in particular. Public service radio and television have an important role to play in not spreading stereotypical images of men and women, or of reproducing and cementing power structures and gender roles in society. EU commitments to achieve the objectives of the Beijing PfA In May 2008 the Council adopted conclusions on Eliminating Gender Stereotypes in Society. The Council encouraged the development of policies and programmes for eliminating gender stereotypes and promoting gender equality in education curricula and practices, targeting schools, teachers, students and parents. The Council also encouraged the European Institute for Gender Equality and national gender equality bodies to promote research, studies and analysis to examine further the effect that gender stereotypes have on efforts to achieve real equality. Moreover, the Council encouraged MS to promote gender-sensitive, empowering educational and training processes and teaching material. The media were not targeted explicitly in the conclusions. 5.11 Women and the Environment (K) The Beijing +10 report refers to discussions on the topic and mentions suggestions like gender balancing indicators that could be developed to trace women's presence in decision-making on the environment and that the gender impact of environmental decisions could be addressed by including a gender dimension in environmental-impact assessments. So both gender-balancing and gender-mainstreaming strategies have been discussed in relation to strategic objectives for women and the environment. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 141 ANNEX DG G EN
