The European Commissioner for Equality is a post in the European Commission.

The portfolio was previously combined with Justice as Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality under commissioner is Věra Jourová; however, the two portfolios were split in December 2019.

Helena Dalli serves as Equality Commissioner.

[1][2] The post was created in 2010 by splitting the previous Justice, Freedom and Security portfolio into a justice post (the subject covered here) and a security post: the Commissioner for Home Affairs.

This split was made as a concession to the liberals in the European Parliament to gain their support for the second Barroso Commission.
