2 Re the content of the project
1 Participation of women
Two aspects:

The target for women in percentages.

Facilitating women’s participation.
The target for women as shown in %
- On the JA Board: 30%.
- As JA coordinators: 30%.
- Participating on training activities: 50%.
- Priority will be given to women’s subscriptions reaching 50%.
Facilitating women’s participation.
Parental needs:
- Limiting long-distance journeys

How to move beyond numbers?
Gender action plan: part 2
Re the content of the project
But what is ‘gender’/ ‘sex’?
Sex
The biological difference between male and female
Gender
The social-cultural construct of what sex means in a culture at
one time
- It can differ
- No essentialism involved
S. de Beauvoir: ‘On ne naît pas femme, on le devient.’
What has
gender and sex
to do with identity?
Sex and gender
are central aspects of identity
How to include gender perspectives in our research?
Quantitative analysis of the correlation between:
- seemingly irrelevant information of an individual
- the individual’s identity. (FIDIS Proposal, p. 6)
I suggest some key questions:
The search for the use of the criterion of sex.
1) Does sex play a role in our own research?
2) In which sense does it play a role?
3) Is the criterion of sex completely absent?
4) Is sex identified in the IMS?
How to move on to the screening of gender?
1) How does the criterion of sex play a role in our research?
2) How is the sex variable used?
3) What correlations are made with this variable?
4) Are the connections made by obvious biological differences?
5) Do the connections refer to stereotypes?
Realizing that sex and gender are central
aspects of identity.
Looking at the use of the criterion of sex and
taking it into account.
