A Drone to Promote Equality on Political and Economic Decision Making

ended

Despite the fact that over the years, in most European Union countries, there has been an increase in the representation of women in political positions and in the administration and management of companies and others entities, that there is still no equality of gender, as recommended in one of the three pillars, “Leading equality Throughout Society”, of the EU Gender Equality 2020-2025. Taking this situation into account, the project presented and entitled “A Drone to Promote Equality on Political and Economic Decision Making”, aims to define a new strategy and the creation of new tools that make it possible to achieve that desideratum. The project is based on the analysis of the current situation in terms of good practices, programs and legislation, as well as on carrying out surveys and focus groups in target groups, namely young people at the end of bachelor or masters’ levels, highly qualified workers in companies and public administration, members of civil society organisations, social media influencers and media analysts. The project aims to develop a platform that includes an interactive database of all existing good practices in the different EU countries, as well as of programs and legislation. This platform is the basis for carrying out awareness-raising and motivating actions among target groups and stakeholders such as employers, trade unions, policy makers, civil society organizations and research bodies, as well as mutual learning actions between stakeholders and other organisations working on or interested in these issues. Based on these actions and studies, proposals for new policies and tools will be presented in order to allow the promotion of equal representation of women and men in political decision making, namely equal representation of women and men in the 2024 elections to the European Parliament. These proposal will also aim to have an impact on the design, development and monitoring of national, regional and local policies to promote GE
