Description du projet
Supprimer les causes profondes de la discrimination fondée sur le genre
Malgré des années d’efforts pour éliminer la discrimination à l’égard des femmes et des filles, les inégalités entre les sexes persistent en Europe et dans le monde. Des efforts supplémentaires sont nécessaires. Dans cette optique, le projet RE-WIRING, financé par l’UE, a proposé une approche innovante, multidisciplinaire et tridimensionnelle (institutionnelle, expérientielle et symbolique), s’appuyant sur les perspectives du droit et de la gouvernance, des sciences sociales et des études sur le genre, les médias et la culture. Elle permettra d’identifier les causes profondes des hiérarchies entre les sexes et entend «recâbler» (re-wire) les institutions politiques, culturelles et économiques. Le projet réunira plusieurs pays européens et l’Afrique du Sud pour la collecte de données, l’étude et les interventions. RE-WIRING promeut une approche transformative de l’égalité et combine de nombreuses techniques innovantes pour promouvoir cette égalité dans tous les espaces.
Objectif
In order to prevent and reverse inequalities and promote girls’ and women’s inclusion, representation and empowerment, it is necessary to better understand the root causes of gendered power hierarchies and gender gaps across political, social, economic and cultural spheres.
RE-WIRING’s overall objective is to contribute to practical, sustainable and structural institutional change in these spheres, through evidence-based understanding of cumulative effects of gender stereotyping and multiple forms of discrimination and disadvantages.
The project therefore involves extensive research in six countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Poland and the UK and collaboration with a variety of stakeholders. The project team will carry out a survey and interventions, in addition to qualitative data collection, media discourse analysis and legal policy analysis. RE-WIRING incorporates innovative responses to the challenge to properly identify how the interrelations of power and barriers shape gender (in)equality and exclusion within the different spheres and how these can be effectively changed.
It does so, first, by developing an approach that combines insights from the institutional, experiential and symbolic levels of gender (in)equality in the fields of decision-making, law and policies, work, education and media. This will provide the basis for a much needed multidisciplinary Transformative Equality Approach. This approach will also add to the state-of -the-art by taking intersectionality, culture and crises into account as relevant contextual factors for making such an approach work. Second, the analysis combines various research techniques geared towards co-creating practical solutions, innovative tools and policy responses for the effective mainstreaming of transformative equality in public and private institutions. The project thus aims to ‘re-wire’ institutions so as to dismantle the structural root causes of gendered power hierarchies
