Europe - what has the EU done for women?

Available for over a year

In this year's European elections, UKIP took the biggest share of votes and more seats in the new parliament, than each of the other parties. And across Europe, Eurosceptic and anti-European parties also gained electoral ground. Defenders of the European project argue that it is misunderstood, that this was a protest vote and that the EU has done more for gender equality than any single nation state. Its critics say that it's one size fits all approach is failing everyone, that regulation and quotas are a burden for women and that it's time for a change. Jenni hears about what Europe has done, what women voters want and the role women are playing in shaping the future of Europe.
