Equality award to the Luxembourgian municipalities Dudelange and Junglinster


The municipalities of Junglinster and Dudelange were awarded the label “Egalité dans ma commune” by the National Women’s Council of Luxemburg (CNFL) at a meeting organized on the 11th of July at the City Hall of Dudelange. The municipalities received the award for their commitment to Equality of women and men in local life and their work on developing local Action plans for equality. The action plans of Junglinster and Dudelange were presented at the meeting.

 

The label “Egalité dans ma commune” was initiated by the National Women’s Council of Luxemburg inspired by the European Charter for equality of women and men in local life. The Ministry for Equal Opportunities in Luxemburg recommends the Charter as a tool for implementing Gender Equality policies in municipalities. The National Women’s Council of Luxemburg, the Association of Luxembourg Cities and Municipalities and SYVICOL support municipalities that engage in equality for women and men in local life and they have published a practical guide and a corresponding toolkit on how to implement the Charter and draw an action plan.

 

Among the 18 municipalities that have signed the Charter in Luxemburg, 6 have drafted an Action Plan.
