".
Although somewhat belatedly, the Commission has presented its programme for the Community framework strategy on gender equality (20012005), which differs strikingly from previous programmes and, specifically, from the fourth action programme, which finishes at the end of this year.
In line with the proposal that has been presented, the aim of the change in methodology is to increase access and opportunities for non-governmental organisations to actively participate and contribute to the project. If this is going to be possible, we must encourage this effective participation not just at Community level, but also in the Member States.
As the rapporteur states, it is important that the Commission considers the fact that a prerequisite of any genuine democracy is that all its citizens – men and women alike – should participate and be represented in equal measure in economic life, in decision-making forums, in social and cultural life and in civil society. The Commission must nevertheless bear in mind that no work on gender equality will have a lasting effect unless women’s rights are improved, specifically in everyday practices in all spheres of activity."@en1
