Details: The 3rd International Conference on Men and Equal Opportunities (ICMEO2016) will take place om 17 & 18 October 2016 at the Maison du Savoir in Esch-Belval, organised by Luxembourg's Ministry for Equal Opportunities, with the support of the German Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
The theme of the event is “Who cares? Who shares? Men as agents and beneficiaries in Gender Equality policies”.
Despite the fact that legal gender equality has been achieved to a large extent, the progression towards equal life histories and employment paths for men and women continues to be a slow process. There is still a long way to go to arrive at actual gender equality.
In this situation, the question of the necessary engagement and involvement of boys, men and fathers is becoming more and more relevant. It is the focus of the series of “International Conferences on Men and Equal Opportunities”. Following the events organised by the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs (Berlin 2012) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs (Vienna 2014), the Luxembourg Ministry for Equal Opportunities will be the host in 2016.
