The Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies [M.I.G.S.] (Reg. no. 234) is a non-profit
organisation which promotes and contributes to projects of social,
political, and economic themes relating to gender. In the case of Cyprus,
where the institute is based, a gendered perspective and feminist activism
comes at a very crucial time to link, prepare, and promote the
socio-economic and political ideals necessary for a smoother adjustment to
the European Union membership.
