FRAGEN

Leadership: Tilly Vriend and Mieke Verloo

While gender equality as an object of policy making has originated in the feminist movements of the second part of the 20th century, this connection has not yet been the object of serious systematic study (although good case studies were produced in the context of the RNGS network).

FRAGEN aims at opening up the material that would be necessary for such an analysis. With the help of subcontractors for each country, FRAGEN is in the process of compiling an analytical data base of European texts from the women’s movement, and it will make this database publicly available for researchers before the termination of the QUING project.
