Framing Gender Equality in the European Union Political Discourse

---

In the last decade, the European Union (EU) approach to gender equality has broadened to new concepts,
such as gender mainstreaming, and new issues, such as "family policies", "domestic violence", and
"gender inequality in politics". However, the frame analysis of policy documents in these new areas shows,
first, that each issue has developed its own particular features, and, secondly, that the broadening of the EU-political discourse on gender equality has not led to a deeper framing of the issues in terms of gender equality. The lack of EU competence in these areas, the status of the policy documents, and differences in the actors having a voice and being referred to in the documents are proposed as possible explanations for its framing.
