Council of Europe Gender Equality Strategy presented

ZAGREB, March 6 (Hina) - Although the legal status of women in Europe has improved in recent decades, effective equality is far from being a reality, and even if progress is visible, such as in educational attainment, labour market participation, and political representation, gender gaps persist, according to the Council of Europe (CoE) Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017 which was presented in Zagreb on Thursday, on the occasion of International Women's Day, by the head of the Croatian government's Gender Equality Office.
