The Belgian Minister for Equal Opportunities, Rob Beenders, has launched a campaign aimed at employers, HR professionals and relevant actors to promote gender equality in the workplace. It particularly highlights the challenges faced by women of foreign origin and draws on a recent report showing that they encounter structural difficulties, such as precarious work and under-employment. A podcast complements the campaign by giving a voice to migrant women and illustrating their resilience in the face of these obstacles.

How to guide migrant women towards integration services and the labour market more effectively? The conference of EMN Finland will tackle the challenges related to employment of migrant women. Solutions will be sought from best practices in Finland and abroad.

Project applications submitted under the Call for Proposals on Actions in the area of Integration should be submitted no later than today, 29 February 2016.
