| Content and framework conditions of the project work |
| The initiative was founded
in: 1974 |
| The initiative was founded
because of the following reasons: Access to
the job market for women after they have brought up their children. |
| Target group(s): |
No specific group. All women who want or need to start
working again. |
| Targets: |
To facilitate access to the job market and to the
workplace. |
| Details of the work done by
the initiative: - A global approach to the
problem, and working in networks;
- Building up self-confidence again;
- Fostering resistance to sexual stereotyping in the working world, extending this
resistance to other job fields and developing new strategies for a better co-ordination of
work and family life;
- Working for the recognition of an estimation of personal value that also includes skills
developed from experience garnered at work and from life;
- A methodological approach to reaching decisions (processing of information, solving of
problems, planning, etc.) which allows the women to solve their problems independently and
on the basis of their personal situation, and thus take charge of their own future;
- Individual counselling up to and including successful integration into the workforce. |
