- Marginalized groups of women

Type:Review DocumentationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:N/AContents:As regards gender equality, the 2006-2009 National Strategy and Plan of Action for Equal Opportunities between women and men provide for actions to improve the situation of vulnerable categories, including those that are the most exposed to marginalization and social exclusion, because of multiple discriminations. Women are very much present in the political, social and economical life but there is still room for improvement insofar as representation at the top- decisional level is concerned. According to the assessment of the National Agency for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (NAEO), in rural communities, women encounter obstacles in acquiring equal opportunities with men. Therefore, improving the socio-professional condition of women in rural areas is one of NAEO's priorities for 2008 (a job market for this category will be organized shortly). [Para 33] -

Para 111) During the year 2010, at national level 36 informal campaigns were conducted, 19 domestic violence prevention projects and also about 37.000 persons received preventive information. In conducting the activities, external partners have been involved as well.
