Objective of the Project

This project is a response to the problem of low gender issue awareness, lack of information and the lack of interest of the largest group of women living in Czech regions (smaller towns and municipalities) who do not have the opportunity or motivation to learn more about the issue of gender equality and women’s rights. Gender enlightenment and presentation of the issue of equal opportunities, including educational and information material, has been reserved to experts so far. What has been missing is the perspective and contribution of women themselves. Therefore our activities focus on them. The partner project of three organisations aims at motivating the majority of the female population to take an interest in equal opportunities through an original publication. The publication will be promoted at a regional seminar and a conference in Prague, publicised and distributed among the target group. The project also wants to support a group of women in the Vysočina region in founding a women’s organisation – through a series of workshops (with the themes of boosting self-confidence, looking for one’s own strong points and emancipation).
