The European Committee of Social Rights has made a review of what the Member States have done to follow the decisions and the Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE (CM/RecChS(2021)1).  

The Committee’s auditing work is interesting because it shows the efforts made by Member States, which are admittedly varied. We invite you to go and read the ECSR’s Observations, because they really are a mine of information on the actions to be taken in the States concerned, or in your States if they have not ratified the Social Charter, to obtain equal pay for an equal job, and equal representation of women in the position making.
