CERV Calls on Gender Equality and violence against children or gender-based out this week.
The European Union's commitment to fostering equality, protecting rights, and promoting citizenship is exemplified through the EU Citizenship, Equality, Rights, and Values (CERV) program. As the programme continues to evolve, two significant calls for proposals under CERV are set to open this week, each addressing critical topics: Gender equality and gender-based violence and violence against children.
