Key information
In the PLUREQ project we studied how the development of gender equality policies occurs. We asked how the women's movement and gender equality policies integrate cultural and religious diversity, and have concentrated on two core areas: protection against discrimination and anti-violence policies.
Project period: 2007-2010.
The project is financed through the IMER research programme.
