GENDER IN EUROPE

A Report by Mateo Larrea Bonilla

IES San Isidoro

This February of the year 2022, people from Slovenia, France and Greece have come to Seville for an Erasmus + meeting. We all had to work in a very present-day and polemical topic: Gender. We have been working on many different workshops: Some of us prepared infographics about the situations and laws in relation with the LGTBIQ+ community and male/female gender in our respective countries, where we could see the different situations between them and their weak and strong points.

Furthermore, some of us have interviewed some strangers in the streets, and asked them questions about social inclusion and gender. Students in charge of this activity have asked people from many different countries, like the UK, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal and Spain, questions that have helped them to arrive at the conclusion that the situation has become a lot better in the past decades, when one had to hide who really was. Still there are many unsolved problems.

Moreover, we were divided into two groups to have debates, one about gender, and another one about social inclusion. During the gender debate, each student made a question about the gender gap between male and female. Some of these questions were: “Do you think that stereotypes about women cause less chances to get a job?”, “Do you think there are female and male jobs?” or “¿Would you feel more comfortable being attended by a male nurse than a female nurse? What about a male mechanic and a female mechanic?” We were arguing about them for one hour. The conclusions for some of these questions were that women are seen by society as a weak community. Apparently “weaker” because of their biology, the fact is that this does not prevent them from doing many different things. That kind of stereotypes and thoughts are causing inequality situations, like a higher unemployment rate of women in some jobs or a wage gap. For example, we could observe the problem of the difference in salaries between a sport woman player and a sport man player, because a man football player earns around 2 million dollars, and a girl sport player around 50 thousand dollars. The reason of this is that in this kind of sports, one earns as much as one produces, and society stereotypes and thoughts make people dislike a woman playing a “men’s sport” a fact that causes a low visibility of women in many sports.

However, not all the Spanish experience has been about gender and social inclusion, we also need to have fun sometimes. We have visited beautiful places like “The mushrooms”, the Alcázar, the Cathedral and the Giralda, “Maria Luisa park” and the Spanish Square, where some of us were interviewing people. The Aquarium was indeed an interesting landmark, as well as the Golden Tower, The Seville tower and some exhibitions about art and science were the closing activities. Also, we hosts have provided our guests a very good experience, full of emotions. We have become really good friends and of course, enjoyed a lot of Spanish food.
