WOMEN IN AN EQUAL EUROPE

The project uses a creative process and 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]

PROJECT

This transnational project includes four European partners from Ireland, Spain, Croatia, and Serbia and uses creative processes of theater and film as well as online resources to promote a greater understanding of women’s rights and 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 – that have arisen as a result of belonging to the European Union.

Using artistic and political activism, the project promotes equality and women’s experiences of living in Europe to enable women’s voices to be heard and recognized.

Raising awareness of the role of women and the power of the EU to promote gender equality, human rights, and inclusion, including tolerance and intercultural dialogue.
Providing information on the role of citizens through which they can influence EU policies. Stimulating active citizen participation in debates on the kind of Europe they want in the future in relation to gender equality, human rights, and inclusion.
