Abstract:
The romanian goverment improves to have each county a local government body, like the County Commission for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (Comisia judeţeană în domeniul egalităţii de şanse între femei şi bărbaţi - COJES). The 40 COJES, as well as the Bucharest Municipality (COJE), are composed of representatives of local public administration, entities subordinate to the local public administration, trade unions and local NGOs. There is no legal provision indicating a specific County Commission's position in the local government. The COJES have a consultative and informative role. They regularly collect and submit data in the area of equal opportunities, which are then transmitted to the CONES. The composition and function of the COJES are stipulated by law. So, throug this consultative and informative role, they pretend to: - promote the integration of the equal opportunity principle to eliminate gender inequality and gender discrimination - include the principle of equal opportunity between women and men in the implementation of national and local policy - evaluate the implementation of equal opportunity policy at the local level - make recommendations to local authorities in the field of gender equality - report on the implementation of gender equality legislation and policy
