Descrizione del progetto
Sradicare le radici profonde della discriminazione di genere
Nonostante anni di tentativi volti a eliminare la discriminazione contro donne e ragazze, le disparità di genere persistono in Europa e nel mondo. Si sente quindi il bisogno di un impegno maggiore. Partendo da questo presupposto, il progetto RE-WIRING, finanziato dall’UE, ha proposto un approccio innovativo, multidisciplinare e tridimensionale (istituzionale, esperienziale e simbolico), attingendo alle prospettive disciplinari di studi in materia di legge, governance, scienze sociali, genere, mezzi di comunicazione e cultura. In questo modo, permetterà di individuare le radici profonde delle gerarchie di genere, puntando a «riorganizzare» le istituzioni politiche, culturali ed economiche. Il progetto riunirà diversi paesi europei e il Sud Africa per la raccolta di dati, lo studio e gli interventi. RE-WIRING promuove un approccio trasformativo basato sulla parità, fondendo numerose tecniche innovative a favore della parità in tutti i contesti.
Obiettivo
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
