НЕМА ПОДАТАКА: НЕМА ПОЛИТИКА!
Приступ MINDtheGEPs пројекта политикама за планове родне равноправности засноване на доказима
Чињенице и бројке јачају нашу способност да предузмемо културне и структуралне акције ка родној равноправности. Верујемо да дељење знања пројекта MINDtheGEPs о родним неравнотежама може да допринесе одрживој промени. Овај кратак преглед који се односи на политике у овом домену укључује препоруке како да се у истраживачким организацијама постави основа за планове родне равноправности (Gender Equality Plans - GEPs) засноване на доказима, на основу претпоставке да без података неће бити ни саме политике.
Потребно нам је неколико типова података да бисмо могли да сагледамо различите факторе притиска и повлачења (push and pull factors) који (де)конструишу родне неједнакости током различитих фаза истраживачке каријере (почетне, средње, напредне) и на различитим нивоима (индивидуални, организациони, национални). Зашто? Зато што је род друштвена структура коју карактеришу вишеструке испреплетане баријере, чије уклањање захтева вишеструке испреплетане активности.
