Promoting comprehensive policies to end gender-based violence in research and higher education.
Pledge zero tolerance to gender-based violence!
In alignment with the zero-tolerance code of conduct published by the Commission’s Sub-group ‘Inclusive Gender Equality in the ERA’, we’re calling on higher education institutions, research organisations, and all ERA stakeholders to take a bold stand against any form of gender-based violence by committing to its principles.
Our
objectives.
The EU-funded GenderSAFE project will support research and higher education institutions in establishing safe, inclusive, and respectful environments by setting up comprehensive policies to effectively counteract gender-based violence.
Increasing robustness of zero-tolerance policies by building a common policy discourse in the EU reflecting state-of-the-art theoretical debates, including attention to power and intersectionality, mobility and precarity,
Facilitating the uptake and ownership of a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence policies through mutual learning, exchange, and co-design in a Community of Practice, involving multiple circles of various types of stakeholders,
Building institutional capacities to set up and implement gender-based violence policies through training of responsible staff and officers.
Creating a knowledge base on the uptake and contents of zero-tolerance policies at RPOs in the EU through a data collection and monitoring system.
Raising awareness and creating uptake through carefully designed communication, dissemination, and advocacy activities.
