On the occasion of March, marked by March 8, International Women's Rights Day, and the March 21, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, educational and research institutions are mobilizing around issues of equality and the fight against discrimination. This year, the national mapping has been extended to cover the whole month, to better reflect the breadth and diversity of initiatives across the country.
In addition to one-off events, many establishments also offer complete program, in the form of weeks or cycles dedicated to equality and the fight against discrimination. Several explicitly link gender issues and the fight against racism, from an intersectional perspective. The initiatives identified illustrate the diversity of formats and approaches These include conferences and roundtables, exhibitions, screenings and debates, participatory workshops, awareness-raising initiatives, training courses and cultural events.
By bringing these actions together in a single map, we aim to promoting the commitment of equality-diversity missions and showcase the richness of the dynamics at play within institutions. This tool helps to enhance the visibility of their actions, promote the sharing of experiences, and encourage collective mobilization on a national scale, This is essential to advance equality and combat all forms of discrimination in higher education and research in the long term.
