In order to upgrade the role of women in the sport and increase the presence of female representatives in the various fields of European handball, numerous publications have been produced using the results of various working groups organised by EHF.

In 2010, the EHF launched the Women's Handball Programme with the assistance of a steering group of female handball experts and the support of the EHF Executive Committee, in order to increase the presence of female representatives in the various fields of European Handball.
