Description

The project aims to create a "Network of Local Authorities for Equality”, involving a partnership composed by 9 Municipalities representing different portuguese regions: Amadora, Cascais, Palmela, Vila Nova de Gaia, Mangualde, Póvoa de  Lanhoso, Loulé, Aljezur e Odemira.

The Project, with the duration of 36 months, intends, as its main goals, to:

- Establish a network of municipalities to learn from each other in order to improve the equality between women and men and work life balance, identifying existing good practices and creating positive and innovative actionable measures to be incorporated by other municipalities;

- Empowering project partner municipalities to implement and validate a set of methodologies and tools to promote gender equality and work-life balance in the municipalities; 

- Promote community forums, with the population and local public and private entities, in order to listen to their perceptions and needs in matters of equality and non-discrimination between women and men, and work-life balance;

- Promote a final seminar to disseminate project products and outputs.
