Gender stereotyping - Out of the straitjacket!

A Working Future is committed to breaking gender stereotypes in education and the labour market, and improving the options for combining work, care giving and education. A Working Future is a collaborative project of Atria, Institute on Gender Equality and Women’s History; Emancipator; Dutch Council of Women (NVR); and VHTO, National Expert Organisation on Girls/Women and Science/Technology.
