Equal Opportunities for Older Women

This report introduces a model project and its scientific assessment. The aim of the model project was to improve women's social situation and help this socially disadvantaged group to actively master their lives. The focus is on the contents and methods chosen for group work and their suitability both for dealing with the problems faced by ageing women and promoting their willingness and ability to face up to those problems and become actively involved in self-help groups as participants.
