Summary
The aim of the Pariteia network is to realise equal citizenship of men and women by pointing out possibilities for improvement and levers for change to public authorities at all levels: local, regional, national and European. Women still carry out the majority of caring tasks at home, many of them experience violence in the family, while they are also expected to fully participate in the labour market. This creates a basic inequality between men and women. The concept of full citizenship implies gender equality, meaning equal opportunities and freedom of choice of men and women in different domains. Realised with the support of the European Community – Programme relating to the Community Framework Strategy on Gender Equality (2001–2005). Lead partner: European Movement International
