A new edition of the Projects Brochure builds on the EU CAP Network’s work promoting gender equality in rural areas. The publication highlights examples of projects funded by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) led by women and initiatives that are advancing gender equality in rural areas.

Equality is a core principle of the EU and this is reflected in one of the CAP’s Specific Objectives, which aims to help enhance the position of women in farming and accelerate the social inclusion of rural women. As inclusion is about involvement and empowerment, the CAP holds the potential to foster more inclusive rural areas by promoting rural women’s participation and recognition in local decision-making processes, businesses and communities.
Featuring project examples from Czechia, Estonia, France, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden, our new edition of the Projects Brochure provides valuable perspectives and experiences demonstrating the CAP’s potential in supporting EU equality policy.
See the publications section of our website for this and other editions of the Projects Brochure.
