Description

PLUS is a project funded by the European Social Fund through the Veneto Region, under the P.A.R.I. – Progetti e Azioni di Rete innovativi per la parità e l’equilibrio di genere call for proposals (DGR 1522 of 29/11/2022), and is coordinated by Irecoop Veneto.
The project aims to promote greater gender equality in the labour market by fostering women’s participation and retention and countering the stereotypes and discrimination that still hinder the full achievement of equality between women and men. In particular, it seeks to contribute to increasing female employment, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and to reducing gender segregation across different sectors, roles and levels of responsibility.
At the same time, the project promotes a better work-life balance by supporting a fairer distribution of family care responsibilities and facilitating access to support services, including those for children and non-self-sufficient people. Through innovative awareness-raising, empowerment and work-life balance actions, the initiative therefore aims to foster cultural change and create more inclusive and sustainable conditions for women’s participation in the world of work.
