As one of a series of measures designed to improve the coordination of the development aid provided by the Member States and the Commission, the communication entitled ‘Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in Development Cooperation’ sketches out for the first time a European strategy to foster gender equality and women’s empowerment. With a view to achieving that objective, the EU strategy identifies three areas for action: firstly, 41 practical measures are proposed in the areas of responsible governance, employment, education, health and violence against women.
Premièrement, 41 mesures concrètes sont proposées dans les domaines de la gouvernance, de l'emploi, de la formation, de la santé et de la violence à l'encontre des femmes.
