Inclusive Gender Equality Plan for the UW for 2025 – 2029
Woks on the new edition of the Gender Equality Plan has begun. The next Plan will respond to the needs of the academic community, understood as individuals with different needs and experiences. The new Plan will therefore include activities aimed at a wide category of people and groups, hence its name: Inclusive Gender Equality Plan.
Equality at UW 2024 – the scientific research that is the basis for the development of the new Inclusive Gender Equality Plan
While developing the first edition of the Gender Equality Plan, a study Equality at UW (2018-2019) was carried out.
In the first half of 2024 the UW Equality Team and the UW Women’s and Gender Research Centre have started the implementation of the second edition of the reserach – Equality at UW 2024.
The research examination includes:
- focus group interviews,
- a university-wide survey,
- analysis of existing documents, procedures and databases to identify potential gaps.
We organized group interviews for:
- students (in Polish and English),
- doctoral students (in Polish and in English),
- researchers and lecturers (in Polish and in English),
- persons employed in administration and other non-academic positions (in Polish).
Currently, it is planned to conduct the second part of the study – a university-wide survey. The study is carried out by the UW Equality Team in cooperation with the Center for Research on Prejudice and the Quality Evaluation Unit (PEJK).
The survey (in Polish and English versions) will start in December 2024 and will be addressed to:
- students,
- doctoral students,,
- researchers and lecturers,
- persons employed in administration and other non-academic positions.
The aim of the survey is to collect the opinions and experiences of members of our community regarding various manifestations of unequal treatment while working and studyiun at the university. The responses will allow us to determine the scale of undesirable behaviour related to unequal treatment of individuals in the UW community.
The results of the study will be used to prepare a new edition of the Inclusive Gender Equality Plan for UW for 2025-2029.
The Gender Equality Plan is a strategic document prepared on the basis of a diagnosis of the experiences and needs of our University community in the context of respecting values such as equality, diversity and anti-discrimination.
