Gender policy and the content of gender education

On March 7, 2025, Akerke Zhanzhigitova, a first-year master's student of the specialty "7M02303 Translation Studies (Western Languages)", conducted a curatorial hour for second-year students of the specialty "Translation Studies" on the topic "Gender Policy and the Content of Gender Education" within the framework of SDG 5: Gender Equality. The event was also attended by Senior Lecturer of the Department of Foreign Philology and Translation Studies, Rauana Torekhanova. The purpose of the event was to engage students in public discussion by raising awareness of the importance of gender policy, developing their perspectives, and fostering critical thinking skills.

During the session, students were introduced to fundamental information about gender equality. Akerke Zhanzhigitova provided an overview of the historical development of gender policy and the initiatives of international organizations (UN, European Union, UNESCO) in this area. Students discussed the roles, rights, and opportunities of men and women in society. Khushnozbegim, Zhanel, and Aknur talked about the stereotypes imposed on women in society. Dilnaz and Inabat shared their opinions on equal opportunities for men and women in the labor market. In the "Gender-Neutral Language" activity, students analyzed the use of gender-neutral language. They examined the gendered aspects of professional titles (e.g., businessman – entrepreneur, chairman – chairperson) and their impact on societal perception. Asel and Medina actively contributed to this discussion. During the "Gender Stereotypes: Myths and Reality" task, students compared common myths about gender equality with real facts and analyzed them. At the end of the session, students completed a creative task titled "My Call for Gender Equality," where they expressed their views and suggested possible steps to ensure equality in society.

Students actively participated in discussions, freely shared their opinions, and exchanged ideas. They expressed their willingness to contribute to achieving gender equality in society. The curator session was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
