The Flemish Green Party – do they practice gender mainstreaming? – De groene partij van Vlaanderen – Is gendermainstreaming de norm? [EN/NL]

The Flemish Green Party in Belgium is a political party which aims to be inclusive and diverse in its goals and policies. But is it as progressive as party leaders want us to think? The party already successfully practices environmental mainstreaming – is the same true for gender mainstreaming? An analysis.

Groen is een politieke partij die probeert zo inclusief en divers mogelijk te zijn in de doelstellingen en beleidsmaatregelen. Maar zijn ze zo progressief als de partijleiders ons doen denken? De partij is al succesvol in het mainstreamen van milieukwesties binnen hun beleid – kunnen we zeggen dat dit ook zo is wat betreft gender mainstreaming? Een analyse.

Gender-sensitive education: “gender madness” or liberation from gender stereotypes?

08/08/201616/01/2019 By Nicoletta Enria

A child’s education is vital in forming who he/she will become as an adult, these formative years can be especially important in how children will perceive gender in the future. How can we start from a young age to break gender stereotypes and pave the way for a completely equal society? The taboo-ed gender-sensitive education could be the answer; but what really is it and how can it help create a feminist education?
