- Gender Mainstreaming, Gender Budgeting and monitoring;
- Economic independence and the position of women on the labour market;
- Maternity leave, paternity leave and parental leave and unpaid care work;
- Women in political and economic decision making;
- Dignity, integrity and violence against women; and
