Dismantling stereotypes of women in education and culture
21-6-2019
Under the patronage of NCLW president, Claudine Aoun Rukuz, the Arab Women Organization (AWO) organized a workshop in Beirut yesterday under the theme, ‘Dismantling stereotypes in education and culture in Arab societies’. The two-day event, held with the participation of 10 countries, including Jordan, Tunisia, Iraq, Oman, Palestine, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Yemen and Lebanon, aims to challenge discrimination and establish equality in education and culture through targeting decision makers in the two fields. The event also seeks to change the stereotypical societal culture of the roles and capacities of women and girls and replacing them with content that respects gender equality. The workshop includes an applied training session which involves dividing participants to work groups on child targeted cultural productions to come out with recommendations on child targeted cultural, educational and psychological content. On the occasion, Rukuz pointed out that the catch through which we address women’s issues in terms of the impact of culture and education, stresses the responsibility of all players in society in lifting discrimination which women still endure. She noted that the responsibility lies on families, educators and caretakers. (Al Diyar, June 21, 2019)
