The project focuses on discussing persisting challenges regarding equality of men and women on the labour market. Such challenges are besides the gender pay gap issues like unequal distribution of domestic labour, underrepresentation of women in leadership, gender-segregated professions, and the pervasive problem of sexual harassment at workplace. The participants should analyse the gender pay gap and discuss ways to combat it, address "mental load" and work-life balance, find strategies to counter labour market segregation, discuss effective prevention and intervention strategies against sexual harassment at workplace and in educational institutions, ensuring safer environments and fostering a culture of respect and accountability.
Additionally, the issues will be raised how to optimise parental leave policies, how to facilitate Cross-European best practice exchange and how to empower trade unions and other workers' organisations.
