Gender Mainstreaming - jak skutecznie wykorzystać jego polityczny potencjał?
The article presents attempts to introduce gender equality policies following the EU requirements. The author denounces the political lack of interest and action towards gender equality and the consequent non application of EU guidelines
Key information on EU or National policies/legislation on women's' representation on the Media:
1. National policies are lacking, public research on the subject is lacking as a result it is difficult even to assess the degree of discrimination to which various minorities are subject in various fields of public or economic life; 2. the establishment of the institution of Government Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment in 2001 was a step toward greater equality (in case of unequal treatment or unfair representation a victim can count on help of the Plenipotentiary, the Plenipotentiary can also initiate anti-discriminatory actions); the institution was abolished by the right-wing government in 2005 and re-established in 2008; 3. Gender Equality Act still not introduced - it had not been introduced till 3rd December 2010, when several, just the basic, EU guidelines were introduced: the Act precisates the term 'discrimination' and penalizes actions under definition, it moreover makes the Government Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment the chief governmentt institution specialized in guarding equal treatment, however it does not assign any special funding to the Plenipotentiary for the purpose.
