What helps
Clear information and concrete steps make it easier to respond effectively.
In the workplace, the gender pay gap is a well-known issue, and women are often underrepresented in leadership positions and certain professions. In schools, many girls are less encouraged to pursue interests in science or technology. Sexism affects the self-esteem and equal opportunities of many people.
At the same time, it also affects men who do not conform to or want to conform to the cliché of the "strong and masculine man".
