News

In this section you will find information on events organised by the Equal Opportunities Officer, as well as general news on equality-related topics, innovations and changes.

  • Equality in the coalition agreement

    The government has been elected, the coalition agreement has been concluded and the government is in power.

    But how much equality is actually included in this coalition agreement between the CDU, CSU and SPD?

    The German Women's Council took a close look. They read the contract and analysed it with a view to equality.

  • Queer life/LGBTQI*+

    Here you will discover information offers that support you on topics related to queer life.

    Find out about activities that strengthen the community and training programmes that impart knowledge and promote exchange. Find your points of contact and help shape a diverse society that lives openness and respect.

    The Specialist Centre for Rainbow Families NRW offers various training courses in the last quarter of the year. In addition to family-related professionals, target groups include youth welfare offices, local authorities, all-day facilities, midwives, gynaecologists, but also people working in breastfeeding counselling or doulas.

    The regional specialist centre blick* and the vielfälTIQ* project from SKF e.V. in the district of Warendorf are interesting and helpful. Both organisations focus on rural areas with their specific services. They endeavour to develop and expand structures in rural areas.

    It is particularly important because this living space must be attractive for all people. It must also be possible to live an individual life here. Also with a view to emigration and a shortage of skilled labour.

  • Women's swimming

    The women's swimming programme in Beckum will no longer be offered in future.

    This is due to the ever decreasing number of participants.
    It is therefore assumed that there is no longer any interest in this offer.

    In view of the cost-benefit ratio, this decision has therefore been taken by the energy supply and baths company. The Equal Opportunities Officer supports this decision.

  • Women and work

    Here you will find current event offers.

    General information on this topic can still be found under the category Women.

  • Women in politics

    Women in politics - strengthening diversity, shaping the future

    Women in politics are not a "nice-to-have", but a democratic necessity. Our society is diverse - and this must also be reflected in political decision-making processes. Despite progress, women are still underrepresented in local, state and federal politics. This must change.
