Other EU projects on Women and Management
Equality has long been on the EU agenda and equality legislation is an integral part of the Union’s statutes. Major advances have been made regarding the position of women, but equality in daily life is still hampered by the fact that women and men do not have equal rights in practice. This is why the EU is working to integrate equality and with measures to improve the position of women through the Programme relating to the Community Framework Strategy on Gender Equality (2001-2005) The programme supports projects that seek equal opportunities for women and men at work. All the projects in 2004 are concerned with improving gender distribution among managers and other decision-makers. Below is a list of other projects approved during 2003 under the heading "Gender balance in decision-making"
