Gender Equality in the Workplace

The speech directly addresses the issue of gender equality in the workplace, highlighting how discrimination—often invisible or normalized—continues to hinder equal opportunities and the professional growth of women. It’s not just about statistics, but about culture, language, rights, and dignity.
With deep experience and insight, Barbara Peres leads participants through a concrete reflection on gender inequality, workplace harassment, and the many forms of violence that can emerge in professional environments. The speech offers tools for prevention and response, while also shedding light on the legal framework protecting workers and the importance of inclusive language.
Special focus is given to the role of Equality Counselors, key figures in safeguarding and promoting rights within the workplace. A vital discussion that reminds us: gender equality is not an opinion—it is a right to be acknowledged, defended, and put into practice, every day, in every professional setting.
