The ETF Women’s Committee was established in May 2001 in Zagreb, during the 1st ETF Ordinary Congress, as one of ETF’s policymaking bodies.
At the 6th ETF Congress, the Committee was restructured to strengthen member engagement. Changes included the creation of the ETF Women’s Steering Committee and the opening of the Women’s Committee to all affiliated unions declaring women members.
Today, the Women’s Committee brings together representatives from all ETF affiliates with women members, ensuring every union has the right to participate.
The Steering Committee is made up of: The Chair, elected by the Conference. Eight ordinary members, elected by the Conference, including two Vice-Chairwomen chosen at their first meeting. One woman representative from each ETF Section, and one from the Youth Committee.
The Chair and the eight elected members also represent women transport workers on the ETF Executive Committee, while the Chair serves ex officio on the ETF Management Committee.

The lay auditors are elected by Congress to supervise the ETF’s finances. They check our financial transactions at least every six months.
Lay auditors are elected from among the affiliates which are not directly elected to the Executive Committee, and have access to the books and accounts of the ETF at all times.
