With the information gathered throughout the implementation of the project and the final conference, the organizer of the European Project: Network Gender, CCOO, drafted a Manual which analizes the regression in Europe of certain issues like employment, public services, women's workers rights, etc., as a consequence of the economic and financial crisis, followed by the austerity measures established by certain governments which have affected the welfare State, deepening its consequences.

From the road to women empowerment in unions like CWU, to the establishment of gender policies in unions, as presented by CGIL; and the need to reinforce networks by including gender perspectives in Global Agreements, as presented by UNI Europa; the project was focused on the need to create networks that will help minimize the impact of the crisis and that will help promote the empowerment of women across Europe.

UNI Europa represented throughout the duration of the project by two of its Regional Committee members: Ana Sanchez and Denise McGuire, as well as by the Head of UNI Equal Opportunities, Veronica Fernandez Mendez.
