It is an open course aimed at advanced students and professionals who carry out their activities in the public sector.
The training course open to the community began, promoted by the Gender and Sexualities Area of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario and the Municipal Masculinities Program of the Secretariat of Gender and Human Rights of the Municipality of Rosario.
This initiative is aimed at advanced students and professionals who carry out their activities in the public, associative and private sectors, responding to the growing social demand for training around the problem of masculinities and its relationship with gender-based violence.
The person in charge of the Gender and Sexualities Area of the UNR, Florencia Rovetto, remarked that the previous registrations exceeded expectations and that this is due to the fact that "masculinity, as a field of study and social intervention, has acquired extraordinary relevance, mainly due to the validity of the transformations of the gender roles and the imbalances in the traditional sexual roles with respect to the egalitarian demands and the current modes of organization of the ties and sex-gendered relations”.
For Daniel Teppaz, director of the Municipal Masculinities Program, this initiative aims to promote actions aimed at creating or strengthening spaces for the care and accompaniment of men in situations of violence, contributing to awareness and training in gender training. According to Teppaz, these training spaces allow us to reflect on "sexist violence that is systematic in our societies because it is learned through parenting and socialization processes, naturalizing attitudes typical of the asymmetry of power between genders", and they invite to generate actions of change and transformation to eradicate its daily impact.
The training course consists of four face-to-face meetings that address everything from gender stereotypes and the modes of social production of inequalities, going through the regulatory frameworks to address and intervene in situations of violence to reviewing protocols, code of coexistence and good practices. institutional.
It also highlights the importance of reviewing and sharing concrete experiences of working with men within the framework of the implementation of innovative care and support devices at the local level.
