The **European Commissioner for Equality** is a post in the [European Commission](/source/European_Commission). The portfolio was previously combined with [Justice](/source/European_Commissioner_for_Justice) as *Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality* under commissioner is [Věra Jourová](/source/V%C4%9Bra_Jourov%C3%A1); however, the two portfolios were split in December 2019. The current holder is [Hadja Lahbib](/source/Hadja_Lahbib).[1][2]

Hadja Lahbib also serves as [Commissioner for Preparedness and Crisis Management](/source/European_Commissioner_for_Preparedness_and_Crisis_Management).

## Portfolio

The post was created in 2010 by splitting the previous [Justice, Freedom and Security](/source/List_of_European_Commission_portfolios#Justice,_Freedom_and_Security) portfolio into a justice post (the subject covered here) and a security post: the [Commissioner for Home Affairs](/source/List_of_European_Commission_portfolios#Home_Affairs). This split was made as a concession to the [liberals](/source/Alliance_of_Liberals_and_Democrats_for_Europe_(European_Parliament_group)) in the [European Parliament](/source/European_Parliament) to gain their support for the second [Barroso Commission](/source/Barroso_Commission).
