Have Your Say in the Next National Strategy for Women and Girls
The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is developing the next National Strategy for Women and Girls. This new strategy will expand on the progress made by the last strategy and help advance the rights of women and girls. The new strategy will build on the previous strategy objectives in areas such as leadership, social and economic issues, visibility and active participation, healthcare, and gender mainstreaming.
To inform this process, the Department wants to gather the views of members of the public to make sure a broad range of opinions and experiences are included when considering what are the key issues, and how best to deal with the key challenges facing women and girls today.
How to participate
IPSOS B&A have been contracted to carry out the consultation for the Department and have helped design an online survey which can be accessed here The survey will be available from August 19th and will remain open until 30 September. You can submit your own views or those of an organisation which you represent. The survey will be available in both English and Irish.
