As part of MU's Gender Equality Plan (GEP), a training session focused on the issue of gender stereotypes.
On 23 September 2024, a training session entitled "Gender Stereotypes against Women" was organised by the RMU Personnel Management Office | Masaryk University This training was part of the first module of the training programme under the MU Gender Equality Plan (GEP).
The content of the two-hour online training was prepared by GenderNORA, which offered participants a basic insight into gender stereotypes and theoretical concepts. The lecturing team headed by the director MgA. Bc. Eva Lukešová introduced the participants to the activities of GenderNORA, while two other speakers presented key phenomena such as the "glass ceiling" and the "glass escalator". The presentation also included data on the gender pay gap and other aspects affected by gender diversity. At the end of the training, the audiovisual material, which was produced with the support of Norwegian funds and GenderNORA, was enriched. A short discussion concluded the event.
We thank all participants for their active participation. We hope that the training was particularly beneficial for those who are just getting acquainted with the issue and provided them with valuable information on gender stereotypes.
