This site seeks to expose and reflect about the mainstreaming of the gender perspective on training and work. The dissemination of experiences, information, reflection on successful practices and difficulties will be the result of a collective effort to improve female personal and vocational development and job opportunities.

This site will make possible the exchange of ideas, opinions and practices.. Más>>
