Petition to Promote Gender Equality in the Netherlands

In Netherlands, gender inequality persists in various forms. Women often earn less than men for performing the same work, lack access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare, are underrepresented in leadership roles and government positions, and face high rates of gender-based violence.

In terms of equal pay, women in the Netherlands earn approximately 14 less than men. This wage gap is not only unfair but also hinders economic growth. Political representation is also an issue.

According to Inter-Parliamentary Union data, as of 2020 only 48 of seats in the Dutch Parliament were held by women.

The authors of the petition called on policymakers and leaders within these nations to take decisive action towards promoting gender equality across all sectors. By doing so they will not only improve individual lives but also contribute positively towards societal progress as a whole.
