After three weeks of Olympic competitions, the Paris 2024 schedule shows that more than 52% of the male sporting events were scheduled between 8 pm and 9 pm. This means a gender-balanced timetable was almost reached — with one day away from reaching the goal. However, the days around the opening and closing ceremonies had more male Olympic events than female ones. Having an event shown during prime time can mean greater publicity and associated sponsorship for athletes, as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not provide monetary compensation to Olympians — not even to gold medalists...

Cinema in 2023 seemed like a winning year for women with Barbie smashing box office records. It was the highest-grossing film of the year, the biggest debut ever for a film directed by a woman (Greta Gerwig) and garnered a total of $1.45 billion (€1.33 billion) worldwide. In recent years the movie industry has also gone through the streaming revolution, the pandemic and labour strikes. But after countless upheavals in Hollywood, you're still more than twice as likely to see male-speaking characters in theatrical releases than you are female ones. Just 32 per cent of speaking characters in the ...

The Algerian Olympic boxer, Imane Khelif, has broken her silence after she faced false accusations over her gender following her first fight against Italy's Angela Carini in the Paris Olympics. The Italian boxer withdrew just 46 seconds after the start of the match and did not shake Khelif’s hand after the decision was announced. She could be seen in the ring saying "Non è giusto" — "It's not fair" in Italian. In a statement afterwards, the Italian boxer said she quit because of severe pain in her nose after the opening punches. The incident stirred up international backlash, and Khelif’s elig...

Carini left the ring in tears, refusing to shake hands with Khelif, who had tried to offer her consolation in the meantime. Speaking to Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday, the Italian boxing Olympian calmed the spirits, saying she w...

Last week all the committees in the European Parliament held their respective constitutive meetings, electing a chair and four vice-chairs to lead the 20 committees and subcommittees that make up the institution. This was the first challenge for Patriots of Europe, the group founded by Viktor Orbán, which counts 84 MEPs, making it the third-largest group in the hemicycle. The centre-right coalition groups that supported von der Leyen's reappointment, the European People’s Party (EPP), Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and Renew Europe, maintained its cordon sanitaire, resulting in Orban's group l...

Slightly more than a third of the Refugee Olympic Team at the Paris Games are women, as female representation has continued to decline since the team’s creation in 2015. However, the 38% rate of women on the team is not the only drop registered. The Refugee Paralympic Team has less than 13% women. The number of refugees has tripled in the last decade. At the end of last year, there were 43.4 million refugees globally, according to the UNHCR refugee agency. Around half of refugees, internally displaced or stateless people are women and girls. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) emphasises...

No men will compete in synchronised swimming at the Olympics, despite Paris 2024 vowing to be the first gender-equal edition in the history of the Games. The 96 athletes picked by 18 different nations for the Olympics were all women. In 2022, World Aquatics changed the rules, allowing up to two men to be selected in an eight-athlete synchronised swimming squad. The world governing body of water sports said they were "very disappointed that no male artistic swimmers have been selected for Paris 2024." "This should have been a landmark moment for the sport", they added. With no men picked for Pa...

Six months ago, roughly 15,000 kilometres away in Melbourne, Australia, a female politician had her breasts enlarged and top cropped by a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool embedded in Adobe Photoshop. "Note the enlarged boobs and outfit to be made more revealing. Can't imagine this happening to a male MP," Georgie Purcell wrote on the social media platform X. Although this incident occurred on the other side of the world, movers and shakers in Europe appear similarly anxious about the newest technological craze stealing headlines and disrupting workplaces: generative AI. These are t...

Created in 1971 by a young female copywriter in the US, the now infamous L'Oréal ‘Because I’m worth it’ slogan, affirming female worth, came at a time when men were dominating the conception of female-targeted advertising. “It was at the beginning of feminism in the US. And claiming the self-worth of a woman in an advert, it was really the first time it happened,” Delphine Viguier-Hovasse, Global Brand President at L'Oréal Paris, told Euronews Culture at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. “It has been building the whole story of [**L'Oréal Paris**](VivaTech 2022: Luxury gro...

Gender-neutral acting categories for award shows have been gaining popularity over the years. In 2012, the Grammys removed gendered categories, allowing men and women to compete against each other for all awards, under titles like “Best Perfromer”. Other awards shows have axed their gendered categories to champion inclusivity, like the MTV Movie & TV Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, and BRIT Awards, who introduced gender neutral awards to be "even more inclusive, recognising exceptional work rather than how artists identify.” Now, in a bid to be more inclusive to gender non-co...
