On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of violence against women (25 November), ICAC Gender Equality Committee fosters some activities to raise awareness on gender-based violence in research and academia.
On the 25N there will be a public reading of the Manifesto for the 25N 2021 signed by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan government) in the ICAC meeting room (at 11 a.m.), and the event will be also broadcast online, so all ICAC community will be able to join the event and support to the initiative.
At the same time, Gender Equality Committee invites you to join an awareness-raising campaign on gender-based violence in research and academia led by European project UniSAFE, which is joining forces with sister projects involved in structural change for gender equality in research and academia (SUPERA, TARGET, TARGETED-MPI, GEARING ROLES) as well as with other interested sister projects, organisations, and individuals. The ICAC wants to congratulate this initiative and the people and teams that promote it. Thank you all!
The campaign will be running between 22 and 29 November 2021. ICAC Gender Equality Committee joins the campaign with the ICAC Twitter account spreading dissemination materials and messages provided, with a common aim to show that gender-based violence in universities and research organisations is a reality.
UniSAFE is providing available resources for all to share, and sharing other resources developed by sister projects. Media, articles, reports designed or collected by UniSAFE and sister projects – namely the SUPERA project – have been made freely available in an Awareness-raising Toolkit. When sharing UniSAFE results, full acknowledgement of the project and authors must be mentioned, as stated in the introduction to the reports.
