About Us

The ETF Women’s Committee was created in May 2001 in Zagreb, by a decision of the 1st ETF Ordinary Congress. It is an ETF policymaking body.

The ETF Women’s Conference takes place once every 5 years in conjunction with the ETF Congress.

In 2022, on the occasion of ETF’s 6th Congress, the ETF Women’s Committee underwent a number of changes to ensure more engagement from ETF’s members: the election of an ETF Women’s Steering Committee, and the opening of the ETF Women’s Committee to all affiliated unions declaring women’s membership.

The ETF Women’s Committee consists of women transport trade union representatives from each affiliated ETF union declaring women membership, meaning each affiliated union declaring women membership shall have the right to participate in the work of the Women’s Committee.

The ETF Women’s Steering Committee consists of

• The Chair of the ETF Women’s Committee elected by the Conference;
• 8 (eight) ordinary members elected by the Conference – among these 8 members are two Vice-Chairwomen
• One woman representative from each ETF Section, elected by the respective Sections and one woman representative from the Youth Committee, elected by the Youth Conference.

The 8 members of the ETF Women’s Steering Committee and the Chair of the ETF Women’s Committee will represent women transport workers in the ETF Executive Committee and are members of the ETF Executive Committee.

The ETF Women’s Committee Chair also represents women transport workers in the ETF Management Committee.

See below the composition of the ETF Women’s Committee and the allocation of these functions amongst the current ETF Women’s Committee members.
