EU leaders meet on Saturday to divide top jobs for the next half decade, and after years of paying lip service to increasing equality between the sexes, the problem of inequality is still plain for all to see at these meetings — where are the women? "If you look at the family picture of these European summits for the past few years, there always is this blot of grey men in lookalike suits and the color of only a few women," said European political science Professor Hendrik Vos of Ghent University. The foreign policy chief flies across the world and hobnobs with the great and powerful to deal with anything from Iran's nuclear program to the fighting in Ukraine and the Middle East. Beyond the foreign policy slot, the 28 leaders will be looking for someone to take the top job of EU Council president, the main representative for the EU, as incumbent Herman Van Rompuy is at the end of his term. Facing a dearth of women candidates from national capitals, Juncker is going to take a different approach to the issue: offering women the more prestigious jobs.
