WOMEN IN AN EQUAL EUROPE

The project uses the creative process in a feminist framework to research and reflect upon 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 involves four European partners (from Ireland, Spain, Croatia and Serbia) and involves the creative processes of theater and film as well as online resources to promote a greater understanding of women’s rights, and the positive changes that have taken place in the field of gender equality.

The project identifies 20 stories of positive change experienced by women – 5 from each partner country – that resulted from 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.

GOALS

  • Identifying and recording the experiences of women living in the EU with a focus on the positive change in the field of gender equality that has occurred as a result of belonging to the European Union.
  • 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 in influencing EU policies. Stimulating the active participation of citizens in debates on what kind of Europe they want in the future in relation to gender equality, human rights and inclusion.
