Human Rights Institute in partnership with the Norwegian organisation KUN – Center for equality and diversity (www.kun.no) is a successful applicant for project support from the Norway Grants scheme in Slovakia. Within the framework of the Domestic and gender-based violence scheme, it organises the project „Promoting Gender Equality“.
If gender equality is to be successful, it must be supported by society as a whole and efforts must be vested into shaping and educating the public towards its sensitisation. The project fills this gap and responds to the reaction of various extremist groups in Slovakia that successfully denigrate the concept of gender equality in public discourse. The project specifically aims to raise awareness of what gender equality is, why it is important in terms of justice, human rights and freedom, and that it is empowering for society and promotes freedom of choice for both genders, men and women.
It is necessary to counter the spread of the conspiracy of the so-called ‚gender ideology‘ so that it is not the only voice resonating in society. It is important to educate to the contrary and to denounce these attempts to denigrate gender equality.
We aim to achieve this through 4 sets of activities:
The project Promoting Gender Equality benefits from a EUR 170 000 a grant from Norway through the Norway Grants. The project has been co-financed from the State Budget of the Slovak Republic in the amount of EUR 30 000. The aim of the project is to raise awareness on gender equality.
