Gender Equality Promotion (GEP)

About this project

<p>The project specifically aims at tackling the discussion on "gender ideology“ by two-steps small online campaign based on analysis of the available toxic content, on-line campaign utilizing lessons learned from the previous campaign aimed at much broader audience, a series of education workshops on gender equality at high schools with a particular focus on schools with a high percentage of Roma pupils and transfer of know-how from Norway with experienced experts on gender equality in the form of expert conferences, and an input into campaign materials and educational materials.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The project greatly benefited from its partnership with the Norwegian NGO KUN, which has extensive expertise in gender equality and education. This collaboration enabled valuable knowledge sharing, allowing the project team to integrate KUN’s best practices and years of experience. The transfer of know-how strengthened the project’s approach, enriched the educational materials, and enhanced the overall impact and sustainability of the project, providing a solid foundation for addressing gender equality effectively in Slovakia. The bilateral cooperation resulted in several key outcomes. Collaborative efforts led to the development of educational materials and campaign strategies, as well as successful study trips to Norway, where insights into Norwegian approaches to gender equality challenges were shared. These exchanges provided practical knowledge for the project’s implementation. The cooperation produced two educational resources: a student publication and a teacher’s guide, both designed to equip users with structured knowledge and tools on gender equality. Additionally, the project team at the Institute for Human Rights benefitted from capacity-building sessions, which further strengthened their expertise through direct knowledge sharing with the donor partner. The collaboration with KUN is set to continue, as both organizations successfully secured additional funding for future joint initiatives. Connections established during prior study trips have also led to a new partnership with Reform, expanding the project’s reach to include further activities focused on gender equality and the prevention of gender-based violence. This expanded network will support the long-term sustainability of their ongoing work and the continued impact of their collaborative efforts.
