University of Turin workshop unites students and leaders against gender-based violence and online harassment
Gender based violence is a structural phenomenon that permeates society at all levels, including research and academia. 29 May 2025, the MINDtheGEPs team at University of Turin hosted two workshops, one targeting university governance and another the student community, to combat gender-based violence and online harassment.
According to the organisers, these workshops offer a moment of shared reflection and imagination to promote social and cultural change – starting with participants themselves. "Violenza di genere e odio online" (Gender Violence and Online Hate) took place 29 May, at the University of Turin.
Training is vital for promoting gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. The European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) outlines three key principles for effective training on these sensitive topics: engaging the entire organisation, basing training on evidence-based needs, and ensuring a long-term process.
