The strategic goal is to construct a model of gendered citizenship that can serve as a tool of
analysis for policy makers, legislators and social actors, as well as the academic community.
FEMCIT's model is grounded in the contributions of women's movements in developing citizenship
practices and policies. Building on these, it interconnects six dimensions of citizenship, in order to
construct an integrated architecture for gender-fair citizenship. In line with the requirement of
Research Area 7, Topic 7.1.2, it develops new perspectives on how different and changing notions
and practices of citizenship relate to gender issues in Europe's multicultural context, and explores
their implications for policies. In accordance with the objective of Research Area 7, it seeks to
promote citizens involvement and participation in European policy making, to understand
perceptions and impacts of citizenship provisions in Europe and to identify factors that allow
coexistence of multiple identities.
