Ca. whereas gender equality is a core objective of the European Union, yet remains severely underfunded. In 2019 the European Institute for Gender Equality found that just 1% of the Union’s Structural and Investment Funds have been set aside for the promotion of gender equality within the 2020 Union budget. Yet gender inequality and discrimination carries an enormous economic cost to both women and society. The World Bank estimates that around EUR 145 trillion is lost in human capital wealth as a result of gender pay inequality. In England and Wales alone, domestic violence costs approximately 33 billion dollars per year, according to UN Women in 2016;
