Izmir Chamber of Commerce

British Council

Theme:

Improving women's status in social, economic and political life and =
providing gender equality in the social security system are among the =
main
objectives of the European Union. Compared to other countries, members =
of the European Union have taken serious steps on these issues. Equality
between women and men in economic life has not yet been obtained, and =
participation of women in professional life is still lower than that of =
men even in the European Union. Not surprisingly, the average wages of =
women in European countries are lower than those of their male =
counterparts. Consequently, one of the main objectives of the Union is =
to provide gender equality with respect to wages and employment. Active =
participation of women in science, protection of women against violence =
and sexual harassment, expanding general and occupational education =
opportunities regarding women and increased participation of women in =
professional life are some of the policies that are used to close the =
gap between genders. Given the current conditions, this conference hopes =
to make a modest contribution to the advancement of women in an age of =
globalization, regionalization and economic and social development, with =
emphasis on the European Union.

Call For Papers:
The application is open to any researcher who is interested in the study =
of women's issues and the European Union, and PhD students and young =
scholars are particularly encouraged to apply. The abstracts of the =
proposed papers, which should not exceed 500 words, are expected by =
October 28, 2005 and the Committee will notify applicants by December =
16, 2005.  Please see the conference website =
http://dba.ieu.edu.tr/women/ for more information. Please send abstracts =
to: womenstudies@ieu.edu.tr=20
