in gender inequality which act is taken by government
Answers
The Government Action Plan for Gender Equality 2016–2019 collates the
objectives and measures by which Prime Minister Juha Sipilä’s Government
promotes equality between women and men. The Action Plan is an instrument
for coordinating gender equality policy in the Government. It incorporates
measures that all ministries bear responsibility for in their respective
administrative branches. The measures included support the attainment of
the objectives of the Government Programme.
The Action Plan consists of approximately thirty measures concerning
working life, equal pay, economic decision-making, immigrant reception and
integration services, reconciliation of work and family, parenthood, gender
segregation in education and labour market, education, sports resources and
library services, violence against women and intimate partner violence, and
men’s health and wellbeing. The Action Plan also includes other measures to
ensure that all ministries assess the gender impacts of their activities and take
them into account in their decision-making.
The preparation of the Action Plan for Gender Equality is based on, among
other things, the results of a hearing of the key stakeholders and on negotiations
between ministries. The definitions of policy outlined in the Government
Report on Gender Equality, and on the other hand, responding to international
obligations have both underlaid the preparation. The implementation of the
Action Plan requires extensive inter-ministerial cooperation and commitment.
The Government Action Plan for Gender Equality 2016–2019 was adopted as
a Government resolution on 4 May 2016. A working group will be appointed
to support and monitor the implementation of the measures of the Action
Plan and to report to the Government. The Ministry of Social Affairs and
Health coordinates the work in relation to the Action Plan and its follow-up.
