Gender equality: understanding and overcoming sexism in the workplace - FRENCH
Celebrate International Women's Rights Day!
By Catherine Vermette
Description
This conference-style virtual class will be an in-depth exploration of the complex notions of sexism, gender stereotyping and discrimination that persist in the workplace. It will seek to highlight the specific challenges women face in their careers, whether in terms of access to opportunities, career progression or the working environment itself. By focusing on these issues, the conference aims to raise awareness of persistent inequalities and encourage collective reflection on how to promote genuine gender equality in the workplace. In addition, it will offer moments for reflection and the exchange of ideas, encouraging awareness and concrete action to create more inclusive and equitable working environments.
