Realising Girls’ and Women's Inclusion, Representation and Empowerment

Despite years of efforts to eliminate discrimination against women and girls, gender inequalities persist in Europe and worldwide. More work is needed. With this in mind, the EU-funded RE-WIRING project proposed an innovative, multidisciplinary, three-dimensional (institutional, experiential and symbolic) approach, drawing from the disciplinary perspectives of law and governance, social sciences, and gender, media and culture studies. It will enable the identification of root causes of gender hierarchies and aims to ‘re-wire’ political, cultural and economic institutions. The project will bring together several European countries and South Africa in data collecting, study and interventions. RE-WIRING promotes a transformative equality approach and combines many innovative techniques to support equality in all spaces.
