Context

The National Agency for Equal Opportunities between Women and Men (NAEO — Agenția Națională pentru Egalitatea de Șanse între Femei și Bărbați) is a permanent governmental body responsible for promoting gender equality in Romania. It is a special public central administration body, subordinated to a ministry while functioning as a separate unit — the Ministry of Labour until 25 November 2021, and the Ministry of Family, Youth and Equal Opportunities since.

Objectives

The National Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2021 for the Promotion of Equal Opportunity and Treatment between Women and Men sets three general objectives: promoting universal access to sexual and reproductive health for girls and women; reconciling professional life with family and private life; and encouraging women's participation in decision-making processes.

Activities

The strategy focuses on five domains of intervention: education, health, the labour market, balanced participation in decision-making, and gender mainstreaming.

Conclusions

NAEO's role touches political, economic and social power, with particular emphasis on the political domain, aiming to improve women's presence across all areas.
