For this 36th edition, the chosen theme is ‘Feminist economics: let’s combat women’s precarious work situation in the city’. The aim of the award is to support projects with an intersectional, social justice and gender perspective that help to make progress in the fight against precarious work and poverty among women.

Projects with the following purposes may be submitted:

• To raise awareness and improve the visibility of the main pillars of feminist economics, and highlight the current gender-based division of work.
• To improve employment conditions in the most precarious and feminised occupations.
• To promote more secure, stable contracts for women, in order to avoid informality and ensure social protection.
• To ensure the social and economic recognition of the most feminised and precarious occupations.
• To combat the sticky floor and reduce the effects of the extra burden and inequality that put women at the bottom of the economic pyramid, by promoting professional career opportunities and enriching the work women carry out.
• To promote the self-organisation, empowerment and representation of women workers.
• To promote satisfactory organisation in work environments to ensure a responsible, sustainable work-life balance.
