This site seeks to expose and reflect about the mainstreaming of the gender perspective on training and work. The dissemination of experiences, information, reflection on successful practices and difficulties will be the result of a collective effort to improve female personal and vocational development and job opportunities.

The site also intents to generate synergy, coordination and cooperation at the regional and international level among those -countries and institutions- who are committed to the promotion of equal opportunities in employment and education and to the construction of more integrated and fare societies.

The XXI century starts with serious and urgent problems related to social justice and labour justice that need to avoid isolated solutions. It is therefore necessary to learn from the experiences of others and apply and adapt strategies and programmes that already work in other contexts. This site will make possible the exchange of ideas, opinions and practices. More>>
