Women in Rail Agreement – 1st anniversary

On 5 November 2021, CER signed the Women in Rail autonomous agreement with the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF), aimed at promoting employment of women in the sector, as today women represent just 21% of the workforce in rail. The first such agreement on gender equality in any sector at EU level, the agreement aims to attract more women to the rail sector and guarantee women more protection and equal treatment in the workplace thanks to numerous measures agreed under the headlines of general gender equality policy.

Our short animation marks the one-year anniversary of this historic agreement.
