Women´s Program

The Women´s Program is motivated by the firm belief that gender equality is a basic human right in any democratic society. The objective of the program is to promote gender equality and support the development of academic women’s-, men’s and gender studies in Estonia. Additionally, we undertake awareness raising activities on questions concerning gender equality and related social problems (violence against women, inequality in the workplace, women’s representation and participation in decision making).

The program supports research activities, analysis of legislation, seminars, trainings, preparation of training materials and media products. Additionally, travel grants are awarded for participation in appropriate trainings and conferences.

Partners: International Women's Program and International Gender Policy Network.
