“Gender equality is equal development”

On February 12, 2024,  the teacher of the Department of Russian Philology and World Literature Kaiyrbek M.N. together with the  1st year students majoring in  “Philosophy” held an event within the framework of “Gender Equality” SDG-5. The event on the topic  “Gender equality is  equal development” was organized in a round table discussion  format.

Gender equality implies a society in which both women and men have equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities in all areas of life. Equality between women and men is when representatives of both sexes can have equal access to education and healthcare, management and power, have equal opportunities to achieve financial independence by working for someone else or managing their own business, and to realize their personal and professional needs and interests.

During the round table discussion, brainstorming sessions were held and the following topics were discussed: men and women in politics, gender equality in education, gender equality in the family, domestic violence, gender stereotypes, gender education, gender harmony.

The event participants worked together as a team, asked questions with an  interest, shared information and freely expressed their point of view.

In the end,  all  participants came to the conclusion that a critical aspect in achieving gender equality is the empowerment of women and greater opportunities in various areas of social development, as well as the involvement of men in the process of achieving gender equality.
