The Council of Europe’s Gender Equality Division is launching a call for proposals for an NGO grant to promote the fight against sexism.

This call for proposals aims to co-fund a project with activities at the national level aimed at promoting the implementation of Council of Europe Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)1 on Preventing and Combating Sexism and complementing activities undertaken by the Council of Europe with member states.
