EGALIS: gender equality through social change and education!

The partnership between the Center for Partnership for Equality (CPE), Front Association, Feminist Analysis Cultural Scientific Society AnA (AnA), the Center for Action for Equality and Human Rights (ACTEDO), PLURAL Association, and SEXUL versul BARZA started from the premise that gender equality must be a fundamental value in society. Thus, it acted in the field that generates the most profound change: education.

With the support of a grant of €249,930, through the Active Citizens Fund Romania program, funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014-2021, the partnership has promoted gender equality among young people to reduce stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination against girls and women, and to produce a structural change, in depth.

By generating a change in attitude and understanding of the relationships between women and men in an egalitarian way, different from the subordinate/dominant relationship, the goal was to achieve a long-term social impact to break the vicious circle of perpetuating gender inequalities.
