The subject of this sociological project is support for the social acceptance of the institutional mechanisms designed for the enforcement of the principle of egual opportunities for men and women in the public sphere. The project provides targeted user groups with access to research results, fosters public understanding and social confidence in topics of gender, and develops effective social intervention in gendered social practise. The project output will evaluate the impact of this intervention on taboo issues and on the process of enforcing a scientific line of reasoning in social discourses relating to important issues in the lives of Czech women and men, and will critically assess the real benefit in the transfer of gender-related findings, data and research studies. The research focus of this applied project corresponds to the necessity of strengthening the credibility and importance of science and research for addressing pressing and socially urgent issues in the contemporary world.

The article deals with the issue of construction of caring for fathers, who have become primary carers in the period of parental leave. In the article I analyze how these fathers reflect the fathering, how they construct their identity and interpret gender relations within the family. I seek for patterns and justification that these social actors use in their construction of social reality and with which "result".
The article focuses on the perception of the motherhood, family life and work in the lives of mothers as well as on how this perception affects their definition of a combination work and family.
The aim of the paper is to determine whether there is genuinely an erosion of gender inequalities in those families where fathers contribute to child nurture in the early phases of a child’s life, or whether the status quo is merely modified.

The article studies cause of lower involvement of women in political functions in the Czech Republic. It focuses on following barriers of entry of women in political functions – institutional rules, functioning of political parties, attitudes of Czech public or public discourse.
The author addresses in the article the debate concerning the application of quotas for the assertion of equal representation of men and women in politics. She based her argument on the theory of Nancy Fraser and Iris Young. With reference to some practical and empirical mentions she argues for efficacy of quotas for assertion of parity of participation between women and men.
The position of men and women on the Czech labour market is not equal. Many authors concerned with explanation of the reasons of the gender inequalities on the labour market emphasize the role of structural barriers and gender stereotypes. In this paper I am trying to answer the question whether it is either the existence of structural barriers or different attitudes of men and women towards work that is the cause of the obvious gender inequality on the Czech labour market.
