Final steering committee meeting highlights gender equality progress in Ukraine

On 12 December 2024, the Council of Europe project "Promoting Gender Equality in Ukraine"  (Pro-GE) held its final Steering Committee meeting. The project aligns with the Council of Europe’s Gender Equality Strategy for 2024–2029, which aims to ensure equal rights, representation, empowerment, and participation for all.

Project partners highlighted key achievements, including promoting awareness of gender equality through three grants to civil society organisations, adapting the HELP course on gender equality and gender mainstreaming, creating awareness-raising materials, and providing tailored support to national authorities.

In their opening remarks, Kateryna Levchenko, Ukraine’s Government Commissioner for Gender Policy, and Caterina Bolognese, Head of the Council of Europe Gender Equality Division, stressed the critical importance of gender mainstreaming, particularly in the context of Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
