Gender mainstreaming is a controversial issue, even within the European women's movement. Many women fear - and have unfortunately experienced as much in some cases - public funding being withdrawn from projects related specifically to women with gender mainstreaming being given as the reason. The Verein Autonome Österreichische Frauenhäuser – AÖF (Austrian Women's Shelter Network), Vienna (Austria), compiled an expertise on this issue describing the positive and negative political conditions experienced in the implementation of gender mainstreaming in European cities.
