The project deals with the nearly invisible topic of gender pay and pension inequalities, resulting in social and economic insecurity of women.

The project is aimed at ensuring the standards, measures and actions that will contribute to raising awareness about the problem of pay and pension gaps between men and women with a view to reducing the risk of poverty for women.

Target groups are representatives of competent authorities, public and private companies, trade unions and high school students at the national and local levels.

The project will provide us with new knowledge that will enable a better understanding of the causes and consequences of the pay and pension gaps. We will be able to create an educational programme, draw up a national legislative framework and organise national campaigns with a view to raising awareness about this problem.
