Description
Recognising that the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has aggravated inequality, discrimination and the various forms of violence that disproportionately affect women and girls, and believing that the recovery must be an opportunity and be oriented towards the elimination of this discrimination, inequality and violence, the project aims to monitor and accompany public policies based on international conventions and other instruments to which Portugal is bound in terms of the rights of women and girls and to develop and deepen gender-sensitive budgeting of the Portugal Strategy 2030, Operational Demography, Qualification and Inclusion Plan and in the Recovery and Resilience Plan. To this end, it will, among others, reinforce the work articulated between instances of political power and women''s associations - promoting meetings with parliamentary groups and government officials, produce shadow reports on the implementation of international conventions in Portugal and produce three policy papers with recommendations in the area of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Council of Europe Recommendation on sexism and in the area of gender-responsive budgeting.
