Combating discrimination and violence against women
30-06-2010
Gender equality and stopping violence against women are in the focus of the EU-funded “Enhancing Equality between Men and Women” programme (EGEP) that is assessing the situation in 9 Mediterranean partner countries. Stopping violence against women is a priority, team leader Judith Neisse said, adding another key issue is women’s representation.
A general report and 9 country reports are being produced by the project, with the aim of establishing priorities and carrying out needs-based regional activities.
This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or by the ENPI Info Centre available in English, French and Arabic. (ENPI Info Centre)
