Join us for a discussion with an all-female panel of academics from the UK and Greece discussing the gender divide and femicides in Greece. The forum examines the historical, social, and political factors behind gender inequality, offering diverse perspectives and providing critical insights into the pressing issues confronting Greek society and the persistent gender inequality and violence against women. Speakers are Dr Afroditi Koulaxi, LSE 100 Fellow at the London School of Economics, Ioanna Gkoutna, PhD Candidate at University College London, Dr Charoula Tzanakou, Director of CDPRP and Reader in Human Resource Management at Oxford Brookes Business School and Dr Sophie Chamas, Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
Scholars will present research findings, offer diverse perspectives, and discuss the systemic factors that underpin gender-based violence in the country. The forum will provide a platform for in-depth analysis and constructive debate on the complex interplay of cultural, economic, and political forces shaping these issues. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the panelists during a moderated discussion, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and potential solutions. This event aims to contribute to ongoing academic discourse and inform policy discussions surrounding gender equality and human rights in Greece. The session encourages dialogue, promotes collaborative research, and highlights actionable reform strategies.
The Q&A is moderated by Dr. Georgos Samaras, Assistant Professor of Public Policy, King’s College London.
