Gender Equality is considered essential for the development of societies and for a full participation of all people, regardless of their gender. It translates into equality of rights, freedoms and opportunities between genders, with the aim of providing equal recognition and participation in all spheres of public and private life.

To EWF, it is important to contribute for an inclusive society, aligned with EU recommendations and relevant referential both at European and national levels, for an effective equality of treatment and of opportunities between all genders.

With this Gender Equality Plan, EWF commits to implement actions that aim to foster work-life balance, gender balance in leadership and decision-making processes and measures against genderbased violence, including sexual harassment, much in line with EWF values and culture.
