Words and actions for gender equality
The University of Padua is dedicated to promoting well-being, and eliminating discrimination, violence and gender-related stereotypes through institutional actions and cultural and training interventions. In November 2024, the initiatives proposed by Unipd to promote gender equality, some of which are held in English, expanded with the inclusion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women which is celebrated on 25 November.
The University of Padua also participates in the Red Benches project by placing a red bench at the Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies, located at the Beato Pellegrino Campus in Padua. This continues a path started in 2021 at Palazzo del Bo and continued in 2022 at the University Hospital of Padua and in 2023 at the Department of Information Engineering, where Giulia Cecchettin studied. Following this path, the bench is moved to a different location each year. Against violence, the right to freedom, the right to live without fear.
The "Red Benches" project is an awareness initiative promoted by the General States of Women to combat gender-based violence.
Please share the campaign on your social media networks by tagging the University accounts and posting photographs of the posti occupati on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Instagram.
If you feel that you are a victim of discrimination, harassment, or gender-based violence, it is important that you report these situations and seek support> Whom you can contact Meetings 2024
