Project description
Promoting policies to end gender-based violence in research and higher education
Gender-based violence is a persistent problem in higher education and research institutions across the European Research Area, with severe consequences at the individual, institutional, and societal levels. The EU-funded GenderSAFE project will support research and higher education institutions in establishing safe, inclusive, and respectful environments by setting up comprehensive policies to effectively counteract gender-based violence. The project's strategy includes capacity-building, mutual learning and exchange, setting up instruments to monitor institutional policies, and promoting policy uptake by national authorities and research funding organisations.
Objective
GenderSAFE advances efforts to implement a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence in higher education and research in the European Research Area. Its overall objective is to contribute to building safe, inclusive, and respectful research and higher education. This will be realised through building capacities, mutual learning and exchange, setting up instruments to monitor the uptake and content of Research Performing Organisation (RPO) policies and promoting uptake of policies at the level of the national authorities and Research Funding Organisations (RFOs).
This overall objective will be achieved through a five-fold strategy comprising:
• Increasing robustness of zero-tolerance policies by building a common policy discourse in the EU reflecting state-of-the-art theoretical debates, including attention to power and intersectionality, mobility and precarity,
• Facilitating the uptake and ownership of a zero-tolerance approach to gender-based violence policies through mutual learning, exchange, and co-design in a Community of Practice, involving multiple circles of various types of stakeholders,
• Building institutional capacities to set up and implement gender-based violence policies through training of responsible staff and officers,
• Creating a knowledge base on the uptake and contents of zero-tolerance policies at RPOs in the EU through a data collection and monitoring system,
• Raising awareness and creating uptake through carefully designed communication, dissemination, and advocacy activities.
