  • Martina Schröck, Deputy Mayor Graz (Austria), CEMR Standing Committee on Equality Representative

  • Anders Knape, 2nd Vice President of SALAR, CEMR’s Executive President, City Council President in Karlstad (Sweden)
A few weeks ahead of the ten-year anniversary of the European Charter for Equality of Women in Men in Local Life (launched on 12th May 2006), participants in the session discussed the history of the Charter and its tools (Observatory and Indicators for monitoring) and the positive impact that it can have in promoting greater gender equality at the local and regional levels in Europe.
