Become a Signatory
The "Euro-Mediterranean Charter for Equality of woman and men in local life" intends to extend the good practice established by the European Charter drawn up in 2006 upon the initiative of CEMR (Council of European Municipalities and Regions)
The local and regional authorities, as the governments closest to the people, can play a leading role in fighting and eradicating inequalities and in building a more just society. Being part of the Euro-Med Charter Movement supports them in this task by providing tools, recognition, networking and lobby opportunities to make their commitment for gender justice more and more powerful!
