Opportunities

European Commission Call for Proposals - Preventing & Combating Violence Against Women
Violence against women and girls is both a cause and consequence of gender inequalities. It is a violation of human rights and the most brutal form of discrimination on the basis of sex, and results from unequal power relations between women and men. Conversely, it hinders women from fully participating in the labour market, families and society at large. The European Commission Call for Proposals for Action Grants aims to co-fund national information, awareness-raising and education activities aimed at preventing and combating violence against women in line with the specific objective to promote equality between women and men and to advance gender mainstreaming. Proposals should aim to produce results with EU added value. The open call site is here.
