Women's priorities, first!

Women priorities, first! (First, women's priorities!) brings to the fore the critical areas of intervention that represent the main cause of gender disparities in Romania.
Romania has one of the worst performances in Europe in terms of gender equality and women are affected by poverty to a greater extent than men.
Women's priorities, first! ((Women's priorities first!) is a project funded by the European Women's Lobby through the Membership Support Regranting Scheme with European Union funds and will run from July to November 2024.
Romanian Women's Lobby aims to increase visibility and interest in the priorities of women in Romania and Europe. Through the project:
- we will address solutions in several critical areas that represent the main cause of gender disparities in Romania,
- we will help increase the capacity of women's rights organizations to actively participate in decision-making processes to support women's rights.
As specific objectives, ROWL proposes the creation of 3 tools:
- Promotion of feminist policies in local councils - guide for local councillors,
- How to work with women's representatives - guide for empowering women's organizations,
- How to promote women's priorities in EU legislation - guide for Romanian MEPs.
Monitoring the national and European political agenda is essential for NGOs to have the opportunity to play their historical role as active representatives of the realities of all women and girls in the member states.
During the planned events, we will transfer this knowledge to women involved in politics at local, national and European level, RoWL member NGOs and other interested parties. In order to expand and multiply the knowledge and influence of member organizations in the decision-making process of the EU, there will be trainings, training sessions; study visits, seminars and conferences.
Women's priorities, first! (Women's priorities, first!) will look not only at the problems that women have in achieving equality, but above all, it will show solutions, models tested in other communities in Romania or Europe.
