Summary
Objectives
Supporting, advancing and implementing comprehensive policies to promote women’s full enjoyment of rights, freedom from gender stereotypes, gender equality, including work-life balance, women’s empowerment and gender mainstreaming.
Policy initiative supported: Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025.
Detailed Call Description
Member State governments, local and regional authorities and their associations, equality bodies, civil society organisations, in particular women’s rights organisations, and other stakeholders are invited to submit projects within the following two priorities:
- Equal participation and representation of women and men in political and economic decision making.
The aim of the priority is to promote equal participation and representation of women and men in political decision making (including the equal representation of women and men and in the 2024 European Parliament elections) and in management and leadership positions in the corporate sector. To address the remaining challenges to achieving equal participation/representation of women and men in political and economic life, coordinated action is required in a wide range of areas, with fundamental changes, policies, measures and targeted actions that remove both societal and structural obstacles bearing in mind the need to strengthen women’s leadership and participation in the COVID-19 recovery.
- Tackling gender stereotypes, including with a focus on youth, and in advertising and the media.
This priority focuses on actions that raise awareness, at local, national or EU level, to tackle gender stereotypes, including in all spheres of life of young people (particularly schools, sports, online gaming, social media and other activities), and in advertising and the media. This will include promoting positive messages and portrayals of quality between, and equal chances for, girls and boys, women and men, in order to encourage behavioural change in the society. This priority will accompany an EU-wide campaign on tackling gender stereotypes with a particular focus on youth, as well as other gender equality measures that address stereotypes through an intersectional approach.
