On the occasion of International Women’s Day, a new brochure on the Committee of Ministers Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)1 on preventing and combating sexism is being made available in Azerbaijani.

This brochure explains the recommendation and its aims, defines sexism, whilst showcasing its consequences, it gives examples of sexism in different sectors (justice system, workplace, education, etc.) and provides concrete guidelines on how to address and prevent it. This brochure is part of the Council of Europe’s campaign “Sexism: See it. Name it. Stop it.”

For more information on the campaign, visit the campaign’s Action Page and read the full text of the Recommendation here, both now available in Azerbaijani.

This brochure was translated under the joint project ‘Raising awareness of the Istanbul Convention and other gender equality standards in Azerbaijan’ currently implemented within the second phase of the Partnership for Good Governance (PGGII), a European Union and Council of Europe joint programme in the Eastern Partnership countries.
