Women's Rights Plan 2020-2024

As stated in its community policy statement, the Government of the French Community is resolutely committed, through this plan, to the defence of women's rights in all their diversity. The fight for equality must be fought on all fronts. The measures proposed in this plan are realistic and proactive and aim to mobilise all the competences of the French Community in favour of women's rights. They are the roadmap for the legislature in terms of women's rights and are in line with the Community Policy Statement. It will also be necessary to link the measures provided for in this plan with other action plans of the Government of the French Community, in particular those relating to the children’s rights, or the fight against poverty, or its contribution to the “Women in Digital” plan.   The Plan is based on 4 axes which will be translated into concrete actions in the different sectors concerned. In the field of education and training, the following actions can be found, among others :

  • Fighting violence against women: training future graduates in health and human sciences to identify, prevent and deal with violence ;
  • Deconstructing stereotypes and acting on representations: reinforcing the notion of gender in the initial and in-service training of teachers ; 
  • Ensure better representation of women in all professional sectors and at all levels in decision-making bodies and positions of responsibility: open access to training to all women; integrate the gender issue in the organisation of internships; get involved in the "Women in digital" plan; rebalance participation in higher education and research ;  
  • Facilitating the reconciliation of private and professional life: removing obstacles to the careers of women researchers.
