bonjour

je travaille depuis quelques années sur la budgé&tisation sensible au genre dans le cadre d'une équipe du ministère des finances au Maroc. Je vois que vous aborder le sujet de l'autonomisation seulement sur le plan juridique. c'est en effet un volet trés important. Il est également un préalable à tout autre volet. Il serait toutefois nécessaire de le conjuguer au volet économique pour mieux cerner la problématique de l'autonomisation des femmes et de l'évolution des rapports entre les hommes et les femmes dans la sphère privé mais également dans la sphère publique.

Cordialement
