Female commissioners call for Member States to nominate more women in future Juncker Commission. In a letter to Jean – Claude Juncker the commissioners emphasize the European Union’s commitment to making continual progress towards gender equality. In the outgoing commission only 9 out of 28 commissioners are women.
IAW supports the #TenOrMore campaign calling for an increase in the number of female commissioners in the Juncker Commision
