Gender mainstreaming is firmly established in Article 8 of the TFUE: "In all its activities, the Union shall aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women." Gender mainstreaming represents the integration of the gender perspective into every stage of policy processes with a view to promoting equality between women and men. As a monitoring tool, the FEMM committee draws up a regular report on gender mainstreaming in the work of the European Parliament.
