Phases of the GEA Project
The GEA Project started in 2013 to promote a dialogue on gender equality in the Arctic region and to raise awareness of the situation of women and men in the Arctic.
Phase I
2013 - 2015 Project partners in the circumpolar region joined hands to organize the international conference Gender Equality in the Arctic – Current realities, future challenges. The outcome of this phase is the published report on Gender Equality in the Arctic.
Phase II
2017 - 2019 The Project’s Website was developed to promote and expand the dialogue on Gender Equality in the Arctic. The formal Network of organizations engaged in gender equality issues in the Arctic was created. The database of published materials was collected.
Phase III
2019 - 2021 This phase falls under the priority People and Communities of the Arctic which includes initiatives that aim to promote the wellbeing of the roughly four million people living in the region. The GEA Times blog and newsletter were established.
We are currently in Phase IV of the GEA project.
