FIM

On the 27 October 2011, the European sec­to­r­i­al social dia­logue com­mit­tee for the Audiovisual field adopt­ed a frame­work of action on gen­der equal­i­ty, rep­re­sent­ing a suc­cess­ful out­come to two years of nego­ti­a­tion between social partners.

The agree­ment aims to improve the sit­u­a­tion in the sec­tor in the fol­low­ing areas:
 — Gender representation
 — Gender role at work
 — Wage equality
 — Decision-​making equality
 — Balance between career and home

Drawn up by rep­re­sen­ta­tives of FIM and oth­er work­er and employ­er organ­i­sa­tions, the frame­work of action takes the diver­si­ty of social part­ners into account. The good prac­tices it rec­om­mends cov­er all devel­op­ment stages of gen­der equal­i­ty policies. 

The “frame­work of action” is a for­mal instru­ment of European social dia­logue through which social part­ners adopt a vision and joint com­mit­ments on pre­cise issues, while under­tak­ing to mon­i­tor progress. Although this is not a bind­ing legal instru­ment, social part­ners show joint deter­mi­na­tion to imple­ment the rec­om­men­da­tions adopted.
