NOTER
1 Karat er en regional koalition af organisationer og enkeltpersoner, der kæmper for ligestilling og økonomisk retfærdighed i
Central- og Østeuropa og i Samfundet af Uafhængige Stater (CEE/CIS). Den overvåger implementeringen af internationale aftaler og
driver lobbyvirksomhed med henblik på varetagelse af kvindespecifikke interesser i regionen i forhold til besluttende myndigheder på
alle niveauer. Det regionale netværk blev dannet som en reaktion på CEE/CIS-regionens usynlighed i det internationale samfund.
Formelt blev Karat-koalitionen dannet af repræsentanter fra ti CEE-lande i Warszawa den 1. februar 1997. Den blev registreret som en
international organisation i Polen i 2001. Medlemmerne af Karat indbefatter NGO’er fra 20 lande (Albanien, Armenien, Aserbajdsjan,
Hviderusland, Bosnien & Hercegovina, Bulgarien, Kroatien, Tjekkiet, Georgien, Ungarn, Letland, Litauen, Makedonien, Moldova, Polen,
Rumænien, Rusland, Serbien & Montenegro, Slovakiet og Ukraine). Siden oktober 1997 har Karat koncentreret sig om at overvåge, at
CEE/CIS-landene overholder deres forpligtelser i henhold til FN’s Beijing-konference. Siden januar 2002 har den aktivt engageret sig i
indlemmelsen i EU og den europæiske integration.
