Description
The European Commission has defined 3 key areas in the Gender Equality Strategy: freedom from violence, gender equality economy and equality in leadership positions. The problem of violence against women, including femcide, is alarming and a major obstacle to equality. In Croatia, 80% of real estate is in the hands of men, 75% of the poor are women. Women are underrepresented in decision-making positions, especially at the local level. There is no analysis of local policies for women''s rights related to the implementation of gender equality principles at the local level.
The overall goal of the project is to encourage the implementation of gender equality policy at the local level. Trainings for the integration of gender equality principles into local policies and budgets and the implementation of local policy analysis will achieve the specific goal of strengthening the capacity of local organizations in these areas.
By analyzing the implementation of the principle of gender equality in local policies related to key areas of the European Commission Strategy with regard to the rights of particularly marginalized and vulnerable groups and organizing public hearings in local communities (including local governments with a development index below 100%). organizations and authorities and enable the discussion of the best solutions, will strengthen the advocacy role of local organizations.
The Conference on the Best Models of Implementing Gender Equality Policies at the Local Level will raise awareness of the importance of adopting the best models for implementing the principles of gender equality at the local level.
The multiplier effect will be achieved through the participation of representatives of other women''s rights organizations and other civil society organizations in trainings, public hearings and conferences, which will convey information to their members and members and representatives of local authorities in their communities.
