Mary Pyrgos, Omur Yilmaz, Asli Erguven and Nikoletta Michael met at the House of cooperation to examine whether they can work together on issues relevant to gender budgeting and gender mainstreaming. There was a fruitful discussion, but as usual they had to overcome one of the biggest obstacle, which is funding of the projects. The conversation continuous and we look to future cooperation with optimism besides the political, financial and other problems.
