Gender Dimension of European Citizenship

The recognition of a European Citizenship by the Maastricht Treaty introduced a novel legal institution into the European construction, hitherto unknown in international law. However, in its current form, it offers very limited prerogatives. Nevertheless the possible development of a concept of European citizenship, founded on the recognition of the fundamental right of equality between the sexes and general parity has the potential to act as a powerful tool for democratic change, to benefit women and European society in general. Up until now in the work carried out by the European forum, the status of European women as partial citizens has not appeared as a central issue in the debate.
