Feminism For Real

The two partner organizations in the Minority of the 51% project – funded by the Dutch Embassy in Romania and co-financed by the European Women's Lobby - believes that it has been reached
to an impasse regarding women's access to leadership positions in local, county councils, in
The Romanian Parliament and in the European Parliament and that the current models cannot lead to change if the paradigm is not changed. Violence against women who are politically active is one of the main reasons why they do not run or refuse to participate in the elections.
The event was dedicated to the various forms of violence against women active in politics and will have moderators and speakers from the European Union, mainly from the Netherlands and guests from the USA and its proposes to emphasize this phenomenon which is taking place on a large scale, but has not been discussed and not solved either. The event presented case studies from different countries and share the best overcoming practices, especially when talking about physical or online violence, as a barrier main factor in women's participation in political life.

MeToo Unless UR A Jew Join the global campaign against the hypocrisy of UN Women oraganization.

Sport is still a male-dominated world. Only 37% of all currently registered athletes are women. Their percentage is even lower when it comes to management positions in the representative institutions of Romanian and international sports. This important topic is debated in a complex book on Romanian women's sports - "Women's strength in sport" - coordinated by Andreea Paul, the founder of INACO - Initiativa pentru Competitivitate. The book's launch will take place on October 9, 2023, with the support of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee.

"Currently, women's sport is less popular than men's, despite spectacular results in international elite sport; secondly, there is no reason for this situation to continue. If you accept these premises, women's sports offer the market a lot of new opportunities to increase the quality of life, commercial opportunities and new sports performances, a lot of new perspectives for reimagining the Romanian sports environment", says the coordinator of the book, Andreea Paul.
