Parity in decision-making: Women in the Heart of Europe

This is a 15-month transnational European project, focusing on improving the gender balance in decision-making, specifically in connection with the 2004 European Parliament election in Greece, Hungary and Italy, and the national election in Greece.

The projects aim is to:

• Inform and sensitise public opinion about the importance and the advantages of women’s participation in political, economic and social decision making
• Ensure parity representation of women on the ballot lists for the elections
• Empower women in order to demand their participation in the ballot lists of the political parties
• Train women candidates and enable them to run successfully in the elections

The project is financed by the European Commission (80%) and the Greek General Secretariat of Equality (20%).

The transnational partners are:

• Research Centre for Gender Equality (KETHI) - Greece
• Eyecatcher Associates / Shevolution and Project Parity – UK
• MONA – Foundation for the Women of Hungary – Hungary
• Arcidonna Onlus – Italy
• The Northern Feminist University (KUN) – Norway

National Greek partners are:

• Centre for Action and Research on Peace (KEDE)
• Political Association for Women

KETHI is coordinator of the project, and KUN will be evaluating the process and the outcome.
