EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Article 23 - Égalité entre femmes et hommes

Article 23 - Égalité entre femmes et hommes

L'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes doit être assurée dans tous les domaines, y compris en matière d'emploi, de travail et de rémunération.
Le principe de l'égalité n'empêche pas le maintien ou l'adoption de mesures prévoyant des avantages spécifiques en faveur du sexe sous-représenté.

    • Texte:

      Le premier alinéa de cet article a été fondé sur les articles 2 et 3, paragraphe 2, du traité CE, désormais remplacés par l'article 3 du traité sur l'Union européenne et l'article 8 du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne, qui imposent comme objectif à l'Union de promouvoir l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, et sur l'article 157, paragraphe 1 du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne. Il s'inspire de l'article 20 de la Charte sociale européenne révisée, du 3 mai 1996, et du point 16 de la Charte communautaire des droits des travailleurs.
      Il a été fondé également sur l'article 157, paragraphe 3, du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne et sur l'article 2, paragraphe 4, de la directive 76/207/CEE du Conseil relative à la mise en œuvre du principe de l'égalité de traitement entre hommes et femmes en ce qui concerne l'accès à l'emploi, à la formation et à la promotion professionnelles, et les conditions de travail.
      Le second alinéa reprend, dans une formule plus courte, l'article 157, paragraphe 4, du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne, selon lequel le principe d'égalité de traitement n'empêche pas le maintien ou l'adoption de mesures prévoyant des avantages spécifiques destinés à faciliter l'exercice d'une activité professionnelle par le sexe sous-représenté ou à prévenir ou compenser des désavantages dans la carrière professionnelle. Conformément à l'article 52, paragraphe 2, le second alinéa ne modifie pas l'article 157, paragraphe 4.
