| SURT was
brought into being in 1993 as a Women’s Association
for Labor Insertion. SURT was born with the aim of
supporting the process of placing women into the
labour market, especially those who, due to social,
cultural or personal circumstances, find themselves in
an exceedingly vulnerable situation. In 2007 SURT
became a Foundation.
The tasks of the Foundation have been recognised as
an innovative and transforming project for
today's society. The work of SURT is based on each
woman's personal project, as well as on research that
allows for action measures to be developed. The
Foundation also carries out awareness-raising
campaigns which target companies, individuals, groups,
as well as public and private institutions.
Based on the values of equity between men and women
in all areas, SURT Foundation relies on a
professional team of experts in the fields of gender
policies and equality measures. SURT works
under the parametres of cooperation, innovation, and
quality, with a vision of improving women's life
conditions, especially in the labour sphere.
SURT aims to be a transforming project with
a vision of achieving a society based on equity, where
women and men have equal rights, diverse identities,
complementarily divided tasks and responsibilities,
social spaces and power.
OBJECTIVES:
- To favour equity between men and women in all
domains: social, political, economic and, specially,
in the labour sphere.
- To support the processes of women's labour
insertion, specially those who find themselves in
situations of major social and employment
vulnerability.
