**Consejo para la Igualdad Social de Mujeres y Hombres (Council for
Womenâ€™s and Menâ€™s Social Equality)** El 26 de septiembre 2006, un
Consejo para la Igualdad Social de Mujeres y Hombres (NÅ‘k Ã©s FÃ©rfiak
TÃ¡rsadalmi EgyenlÅ‘sÃ©ge TanÃ¡cs) fue establecido con el auspicio del
Ministerio de Asuntos Sociales y Laborales. La creaciÃ³n de esta nueva
instituciÃ³n y la continuaciÃ³n de su trabajo tienen una importante
funciÃ³n ya que asegurar la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres es una de
las principales agendas polÃticas de la UniÃ³n Europea. Las polÃticas
sobre la igualdad de gÃ©nero obligan a los Estados Miembros a dar pasos
concretos para crear la igualdad de gÃ©nero entre las personas de toda
condiciÃ³n, incluyendo en las Ã¡reas de la educaciÃ³n, la salud, el
trabajo
y la seguridad social.

**Promoting Gender Equality in New Aid Modalities and Partnerships**
This discussion paper produced by the United Nations Development Fund
for Women (UNIFEM), identifies an initial set of considerations to
ensure that gender equality is central to the aid effectiveness agenda.
The paper argues that women will only benefit from the new aid
architecture if gender equality is recognised as a key component of
poverty reduction and national development, and if women are fully
represented in decision-making. The report is available on line at:
http://www.idrc.ca/uploads/user-S/11429447581PromotingGenderEqualityInNewAidModalities_eng.pdf

**Achieving women's economic and social rights: strategies and lessons
from experience** This report, written by A. Symington, S. Gokal and T.
Principe, and produced by the Association for Women's Rights in
Development (AWID), is a collaborative effort from over 50 activists
working in diverse settings all over the world, who provided answers to
an investigative process about the most useful strategies used in their
efforts to improve economic and social rights for women. The report
reflects on some of the challenges as well as the strengths of using
these different approaches and highlights what we can draw as lessons
for our own advocacy work.
