LFR delegates . Entitled “ Together for More Equality in Hamburg ,” the GPR summarizes equality policy challenges for Hamburg , sets out the principles to guide policy making , and presents 110 defined measures to improve equality between women and men in Hamburg . The new and updated GPR reflects the close collaboration with the LFR and other interest groups to address inadequacies of previous GPRs . To quote Katharina Fegebank , Senator for Equality :
“ Equality for women is still a long way off . Our goal is to ensure that all Hamburg residents have the same opportunities and equal rights … With this new package of measures , we are making it clear : There is still a lot to do . The issue of better reconciliation of family and career remains a perennial topic , as does the promotion of more women in leadership positions . We ’ re staying on the ball !”
The presentation by the Office of Equality and Social Cohesion was well received by the LFR delegates — but all acknowledged that success would depend on careful monitoring and feedback .
Joana and I look forward to introducing these measures to our club and seeing that your voices and these measures are implemented .
