Gender Equality Plan (GEP)
Gender Equality Plan (GEP)
The University has promoted the drafting of the Gender Equality Plan , placing it in the wake of the values that inspire the University, also expressed in art. 10 of the Statute "Università Cattolica is a community of professors, students, administrative and technical staff, inspired by respect for fundamental human rights and personal and collective freedoms, as well as by the principles of solidarity" and taken up by the Code of Ethics.
Accordingly, it has implemented a long-term strategy aimed at spreading the culture of gender equality throughout the entire academic community, at stimulating the initiation of structural changes within the organisation, at closing gender gaps and at combating all forms of discrimination.
The actions envisaged by the Gender Equality Plan concern the entire academic community: students, professors, technical-administrative staff and stakeholders. They concern the reconciliation of work and family life, gender balance in top positions and in the recruitment of resources, gender integration in research and teaching programmes, and discrimination prevention.
GEP Team and GEP Unit
These are two governance structures (planning and operational) that enable the realisation, activation and monitoring of the Gender Equality Plan (GEP), i.e. a policy document for the three-year period 2022-2024 aimed at the implementation of actions and projects that favour the reduction of gender imbalances.
The document describes the five areas of intervention:
- work-life balance and organisational culture;
- gender equity in leadership and decision-making positions;
- gender equality in recruitment and career advancement;
- gender mainstreaming in research and teaching programmes;
- prevention of gender discrimination
