IMPRESSIONS OF THE EVENT:

Highlights of the event are the following: 

  1. Presentation on gender equality and women’s rights. Main focus of the presentation was the difference between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ and a gender-based approach to daily working Tasks
  2. Screening of the film L’égalité des sexes au Bénin : « Sens inverse »  by the Decentralization Programme in Benin (PDDC/GIZ). Watching the film with supplementary commentary by the gender specialist of ProSEHA allowed the participants to develop a good understanding of the socio-cultural problems which are negatively affecting gender equality in Benin.
