Hello everyone!

✒️ As Policy Officer on Equal Rights, I am writing a policy paper on preventing and tackling sexual harassment in youth organisations.

📊 As part of the research for the Policy Paper, I am collecting data on the level of knowledge, awareness and attitudes of AEGEE members regarding sexual harassment, as well as their experience of sexual harassment in AEGEE and outside of it.

The survey will be open only until Thursday, so please do not procrastinate and take 3 minutes to fill it in 😁

https://forms.gle/WpRYB2Pk42p5z5kQ8

This survey is obviously anonymous and I recommend to answer the questions without checking external sources!

🙏🙏🙏Thank you a lot for your help!

Dear AEGEEans,

During the previous year, various workshops on the topic of feedback took place during Agora, NWMs, RTCs and SUPSs.

The Human Resources Committee would like to know which types of feedback are used among the Network, so we would like to ask you to fill in this survey.

This survey is also really important to gather information and improve the Feedback Culture in AEGEE in general. We would be grateful if you could take some time to fill it in and share your opinion.

The survey is anonymous and all the information shared will be treated confidentially.

Sending you virtual hugs (virus free) and happy thoughts,

UN Women has launched a social media campaign called "#HeForSheAtHome”. It’s an adaptation of their famous "#HeForShe” campaign and it’s supposed to raise awareness on the burden women face during Covid-19. According to an OECD report, “women make up almost 70% of the health care workforce, exposing them to a greater risk of infection. At the same time, women are also shouldering much of the burden at home, given school and child care facility closures and longstanding gender inequalities in unpaid work. Women also face high risks of job and income loss, and face increased risks of violence, exploitation, abuse or harassment during times of crisis and quarantine.” As you can see, the Covid-19 pandemic has made even more evident that also sharing the burden of care and house work is imperative to reach gender parity and should be the norm in society.

By participating in #HeForSheAtHome, you can encourage men and boys to help women, i.e. sharing the burden and being active in taking care of kids or cleaning the house. The participation is fairly easy: all you (men) have to do is take a picture of yourselves, ideally with a piece of paper with the "#HeForSheAtHome" hashtag, while you’re doing e.g. household chores to show your support!

As the current Liaison Officer towards UN Women, feel free to send the pictures directly to me (teresa.puchinger@aegee.e) until May 17th and with the kind support of GEIG, we will be posting them soon!

Stay healthy and keep inspiring men and boys to support women! 😊
