Context

The Visegrad Women's Initiative, led by the Hungarian Women's Career Development Association (AWCDH), promotes women's employment and work-life balance across the Visegrad Group (V4) countries — Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia — operating at cross-border and EU level.

Objectives

It aims to promote women's employment and professional development alongside family-life balance, facilitate multi-sectoral dialogue between government, business, NGOs and academia on gender equality in employment, provide data-driven analysis of the pandemic's impact on women's labour-market position in V4 countries, and share good practices to inform policy development.

Activities

The initiative conducts research on the challenges women face in the labour market, particularly post-pandemic, working with experts to gather data and share findings with decision-makers; it also compiles and disseminates successful practices from V4 countries as a blueprint for other regions.

Conclusions

The initiative positions cross-border V4 collaboration as a learning tool that can build stakeholder capacity and inform sustainable, inclusive labour-market policy across Europe; the source material is the promoter's own description, with no independent outcome evaluation identified.
