Fórum 50% [Czech Republic]

Despite the fact that women are half the population, on average only 20% of politicians in the Czech Republic are women. Against this backdrop, the Czech NGO Fórum 50% was founded in 2004 with the goal of promoting the equal political participation of women and men in politics and decision-making at local, regional and national levels in the Czech Republic. The NGO has two main goals: to raise awareness on the underrepresentation of women in the Czech politics and to actively promote more women in decision-making positions. Over the last nearly two decades, Fórum 50% has initiated a number of measures to reach their goals. They co-founded the Czech Women s Congress and offer networking and training events for women elected officials. Their international mentoring programme for women politicians8 was acknowledged as a good practice by EIGE in 2014. They also hold annual conferences on Equal Opportunities together with the Czech Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Union of Towns and Municipalities. One project initiated by Fórum 50%, called Equilibrium between women and men 9, supports the implementation of gender mainstreaming in Czech local authorities. The project includes a training session for municipalities introducing the method of gender mainstreaming and explaining how to practically apply a gendered perspective in decision-making processes by conducting a gender analysis. Practical knowledge and training is accompanied by presentations of examples of good practices from other European countries and information about the CEMR s European Charter for Equality of Women and Men in Local Life.
