We have to create a stronger academic environment to address gender equality issues
and provide good networking opportunities for people to meet and share ideas
and experiences.
These are challenges that women and men must resolve together. Gender equality
is not an issue that women can or should tackle alone. We need people with passion
to pursue a more gender-equal world. We also need to keep making the argument
for gender equality. It takes time for those arguments to reach people, and to win
over hearts and minds. The message also needs to be straightforward: we need to
be able to define the concept of gender equality in such a way that ‘ordinary’ members
of the public can understand why it is important.
Gender equality is very simple: it is about taking away unfair obstacles so that
everyone has the same opportunities. Who can be against that?
