About Gender Equality At the 119th meeting of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers in Madrid, 12 May 2009, Ministers for Foreign Affaires and representatives of the 47 Council of Europe member states adopted the Declaration: Making gender equality a reality. 20 years after its Declaration on equality of women and men, the Committee of Ministers renewed its commitment to achieve a real equality between women and men and urged its Member States to commit themselves fully to bridging the gap between equality in fact and in law.
