INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY 2023

Are you biased? Are these subconscious biases in everyone´s mind?

This week I conducted this social experiment among my students and teachers in CPIP Castroverde to solve this riddle. The results were shocking. Out of 45 respondents only 3 said the answer was a woman. 

Sexist stereotypes and biases are in our subconscious in a little perceptible way.

But without a doubt, the most shocking response was the total silence in the class when they heard the correct answer because they were dismayed and shocked to realize that sexist biases are much more deeply rooted than we think.

We need to continue training in gender equity and equality in order not to reproduce sexist patterns in the next generations.
