Sexism

At DTU, we take sexism seriously

Sexism is any action, gesture, visual representation, spoken or written word, practice or behavior based on the idea that a person or group of persons is inferior because of their gender.
(Council of Europe #StopSexism) 

DTU works with sexism by:

• strengthen the dialogue that sexism is here;
• creating an awareness about sexism in order to identify it;
• promote the courage to talk about sexism; and 
• offers tools to work proactively with it.

Sexism is about gender:

• Sexism concerns all of us
• Sexism is in our culture

Sexism includes (examples):

• Everyday sexism which we barely notice
• The well-meaning sexism which is often excused with humor 
• The offensive sexual harassment which there is a formal process for handling at DTU
