  • 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.

  • Bereavement discussion group for women

    Grief counselling group for women

    Life has changed abruptly due to the loss of a loved one.

    After the time together, a place remains empty, but you don't have to go through it alone.

  • Beckum Women's Week 2026

    Beckum Women's Week

    The Beckum Women's Week once again offers a varied programme this year.

    Various events invite you to gain new impetus, enter into dialogue and network.

  • 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 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.
