Graduates of the Program Comment on Gender Discrimination of Lawyers for Hromadske Radio
What are the manifestations of gender discrimination faced by Ukrainian lawyers?
“Unfortunately, gender stereotypes are still common in Ukraine, particularly in the working environment. The first step to creating a non-toxic atmosphere at work is gender-sensitive communication: communication is free from prejudice, sexism and discrimination” – said presenters Olga Rusina and Oksana Banit in the “Gene of Justice” program on Hromadske Radio.
Tamara Bugaets, a graduate of the second season of the “Tomorrow’s Lawyer” Program, assistant trainer in the third season of the Program and Tetyana Chernysh, a graduate of the Program, member of the public organization “JurFem” shared their comments on discrimination for Hromadske Radio.
