  • 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.

  • kostenfreie Coaching Night für Frauen

    Kostenfreie Coaching Night für Frauen
    Nein, ist ein ganzer Satz

    Als Ihre Gleichstellungsbeauftragte freue ich mich besonders Frauen auf dieses Angebot aufmerksam machen zu dürfen.

    Kein anderes Zitat, wie das von Simone de Beauvoir, trifft auf viele Lebenssituationen von Frauen so zu wie dieses „Frauen, die nichts fordern, werden beim Wort genommen – sie bekommen nichts“. Und wenn sich Frauen nicht daranhalten und doch etwas fordern, dann werden sie viel zu oft als hysterisch oder schwierig abgetan.

    Dieses Coaching zeichnet sich durch seine 3 Inhalte aus. Mit Beiträgen, Expertisen und Wissen über Sachverhalte zu „Die Kunst der freundlichen Arroganz“, zu „Machtspiele oder Macht spielen“ und last not least „Radikale Ablehnung“ ermöglicht es Frauen über ihre Positionen nachzudenken und das eigene Handeln zu hinterfragen.

    Einer gesellschaftlichen Rückwärtsentwicklung für Frauen, gilt das Gebot sich gekonnt dieser Bewegung entgegenzustellen. Das ist nicht nur für den persönlichen Nahraum ein Gewinn, sondern dient einer wehrhaften Demokratie.

    Die Coaching Night findet am 24. September von 18 bis 21 Uhr statt.

    Veranstalterin ist Women&Work und eine Anmeldung ist unter CoachingNight 2026 möglich

  • 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.

    The Courage girls' and women's centre now offers a discussion group for women who have lost their partner through death.

  • 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.
