The project “Gender Equality in Unions” was advanced by CIEG (Interdisciplinary Centre of Gender Studies) and was coordinated by Dália Costa. It worked with UGT (União Geral de Trabalhadores) through its Women’s Commission. The main goal of the project was to define theoretical and conceptual orientations for the development and implementation of the Equality Plans for Unions, as well as general guidelines. This was achieved by training and empowering some unions of UGT, in order for them to elaborate their own equality plans autonomously.
