Abstract:

The mission of the Coalition for Gender Equality is to create favorable conditions for the development and strengthening of the capacity of non-governmental organizations active in the field of gender equality to promote and integrate the principle of equal opportunities between women and men in all areas of public and private life. This initiative should be considered a good practice because it is an example about how the social movement and the associative pool can interfere in changes in society through awareness and visibility campaigns, training and facilitation of tools on gender issues. So it affects directly on the political power of women. They organize different activities, events, formations and campaigns, with the following objectives: - Raising awareness and advocacy for the introduction of gender equality notions in the school curriculum, as a long-term action capable of preventing misogynistic manifestations in Romanian society; - Raising awareness and advocacy for the introduction of sex education in schools, through which young people can acquire basic notions about the functioning of their bodies, relationships based on respect and consent, recognition of sexual abuse, etc. - Watchdog for the observance of women's rights in Romania, including fast reactions to discriminatory statements and actions against women; - Promoting partnership between women and men in the private sector, in domestic work and in care work; - Counteracting conservative initiatives aimed at restricting women's rights, in particular the right to abortion. - Promoting the representation of women in leadership positions in public institutions and in the political life.
