Friday, 12 December 2025 – Understanding and ending Gender-based Violence in Academia – by Silvia Barattieri and Valeria Baudo (PoliMi, Equal Opportunities Unit) – One in three women worldwide has experienced some form of gender-based violence or abuse at least once in her lifetime. This reality reminds us that academia is not exempt from such dynamics. During the webinar, we will briefly explore the root causes and underlying factors of gender-based violence, and discuss how to become effective allies in addressing it especially within academic environments. In addition, we will present the development of an online course designed to raise awareness and promote action on this critical issue.
