Coordination in order to ensure combined efforts are effective and efficient.
Complementarity of initiatives so broader problems can be promptly tackled. Research as a means of recognising and acknowledging the situation of women, thereby providing the basis for future action.
Acknowledging the insular nature of Tenerife and understanding that local and geographic particularities must be taken into account when looking at problems related to inequality between women and men in Tenerife.
Collective efforts and campaigns to raise awareness of inequality to remove stereotypes that restrict people's freedom to live to the full and exercise their universal rights.
Permanent evaluation of all of the Council of Tenerife's achievements in this area so as to continue to implement and enforce sound public policies.
