Traditional gender roles among educated married couples

by Drissa TRAORE -

The subject is important but very debatable.
Indeed, education largely depends on that which the woman or man has received in his paternal family.  Yes, on the one hand, education can play an important role, I will rather talk about means. Whether the man or woman as head of household has the means to provide for the basic needs of the family.
Culture (tradition) should also be taken into account. I come from this society or community, I cannot shame my community.  In conclusion, the education here is much supported by the respective roles of man and woman in a couple (educated or not). Let us add that instruction education aspects of more in this traditional role.

Transversalización del enfoque de género y políticas públicas

by Carmen Cavero -

Hablar de género en la gestión pública en muchos de nuestros países nos lleva a pensar en la importancia de trabajar de manera transversalizar el tema de género en los diversos procesos que se desarrollan en la gestión de la política pública.

En en el Perú, hemos logrado contar con una Política Nacional Género (2019) con lineamientos que precisan la incorporación del enfoque de género en los distintos sectores de gobierno.  Esto nos está permitiendo avanzar en lo público. Actualmente desde mi intervención como consultora estoy trabajando un proceso de capacitación para operadores de justicia que nos permita no solo sensibilizar sino también fortalecer las capacidades de los profesionales para brindar servicios con pertinencia y calidad a las mujeres víctimas de violencia y a las y los integrantes de la familia.
