TO INTERVENE IN GENDER (IN)EQUALITY IN ORGANIZATIONS IN THE ALTO MINHO - THE BRIDG-ES PROJECT

Abstract

Despite the advances of the last decades, Portugal is still a country where inequality between men and women in the corporate world is a reality. The aim is to reflect on gender (in)equality at work, considering the specific characteristics of the Alto-Minho region. In total alignment with the national and international guidelines for gender equality, this project considers the proximity to the population and enhances the work of companies through its diagnosis, action plan development, and monitoring. Through this presentation of the bridGEs Project, we will highlight the mechanisms and strategies in progress to promote more significant gender equality indices in the region of Alto Minho.
