WOMEN IN AN EQUAL EUROPE

The project uses a creative process and a feminist framework to research and reflect on the experiences of women living in the European Union and the power of EU policies to promote gender equality, human rights and inclusion. [2016 – 2017]

THE PROJECT

This transnational project includes four European partners from Ireland, Spain, Croatia and Serbia and uses the creative approaches of theater and film as well as online resources in order to promote greater understanding of women's rights and the positive changes that have occurred in the field of gender equality as a result of belonging to the European Union.

The project identifies 20 stories of positive change experienced by women – 5 from each partner country – as a result of membership in the European Union.

Using artistic and political activism, the project promotes equality and women's experiences of life in Europe to allow women's voices to be heard and acknowledged.

GOALS

  • Providing information on the role of citizens in influencing EU policies. Stimulating the active participation of citizens in debates with the topic of what kind of Europe they want in the future in relation to gender equality, human rights and inclusion.
