Court Adminstrators - Training

Outlining the fundamental themes within gender analysis, including the division of labour, access to and control over resources, and participation in decision-making, the presentation aimed to raise awareness among the court administrators of gender issues.  Specifically, the presentation outlined the importance of having women represented at all levels of the judiciary, and the need for EU Standards for candidate countries to be followed in this respect.  Statistics were presented, showing the low representation of women in the judiciary and at the bar and gave examples of relevant primary and secondary legislation relating to gender equality in employment.  A discussion followed wherein the participants attempted to identify the obstacles that have prevented a more equal hiring policy between women and men.
