celebrates public institutions and governments striving to be more inclusive
and working to create societies where women and men have equal
opportunities. This involves integrating gender concerns across all aspects
of their work and delivering public policies and services for all. As public
institutions embark on a journey towards gender equality excellence, the
Gender Equality Seal measures their progress against internationally
validated standards. It also supports them every step of the way, offering
innovative tools and tailored guidance. We work with national, regional and
local public institutions and our services are available in several languages.
Upon completion of the programme, a participating institution will be
