On the committee for women's rights and gender equality, Angelika Werthmann particularly stands up for equality between men and women in the work place and equal remuneration for the same work. Further, she wrote the report on "women with disabilities." Another topic important to Angelika Werthmann is the fight against female genital mutilation. This cruel violation of human rights as well as female rights was addressed at London City Hall on 18 April. During the event, which had been organised by "United Against Female Genital Mutilation", many high-ranking politicians, among others Angelika Werthmann, spoke up against this inhuman practise.
