Seminar on gender equality in local communities
When
29 September 2007 (All day)
Where
Hotel "Queen of Montenegro", Becici
Organized by
OSCE Mission to Montenegro, the national Office for Gender Equality, and the Citizen Information and Education Centre in Ulcinj
This seminar is the first in a series of events planned to take place from September to December 2007. The goal is to establish gender equality mechanisms at the local level in the municipalities of Herceg-Novi, Kotor, Bar, Niksic and Bijelo Polje.
The event also aims to promote the implementation of the Law on Gender Equality, which came into force in August 2007. Municipal gender equality focal points who took part in a first round of workshops in 2005, as well as representatives of local NGOs from the same municipalities, will participate.
The remaining events will take place in each of the mentioned municipalities and will engage municipal assemblies members (legislative power), municipal public servants (executive power) and representatives of local NGOs.
