The importance of Fifth Regional Forum BPW Danube Net has been up to now recognized and patronated by Istrian Region, Istrian Development Agency, Istrian Foundation of Civil society and Croatian Chamber of Economy – Pula County Chamber.
BPW Equal Pay Day in Europe 
The BPW Europe Equal Pay Day is an occasion to remember that in ALL European countries still exists a Gender Pay Gap between women and men.
Women's accounts are in the red - In the European Union, the average Gender Pay Gap is 17% (comparison between hourly salaries).
Women above 65 are also the population most as risk of fall in poverty - as they earned less, they have also lower pensions.
The federations and associate clubs of Europe have been running this campaign for the past two years and will continue to do so in the coming years.
2nd July 2010: a Historical day!
The United Nations General Assembly unanimously decided to establish UN Women , the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
UN Women will merge UNIFEM with its three existing sister UN entities working on gender issues — the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women (OSAGI), and the UN International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW): they will continue their functions and activities into the transitional phase (July - Dec 31, 2010) and form the basis of the new entity next year.
The creation of a strong UN organization to promote and advance the rights of women and girls worldwide, has been a requested for many years by women's organizations.
This marks a new era for women all over the world and it is wonderful to know that BPW, through its tireless efforts, has helped to achieve it with renewed energy and enthusiasm for women and girls everywhere.
UN Women will become fully operational on 1 January 2011.
