Education is key to promoting gender equality, combating sexism and building relationships based on mutual respect. It is crucial to address gender inequality through education, as such inequality is closely linked to the prevalence of violence against women. Article 14 of the Istanbul Convention requires the inclusion of gender equality and non-violence education in both formal curricula and informal settings to prevent violence against women.

A new video developed by the Council of Europe informs educators about the steps to be taken to prevent violence against women through formal and informal education. The video complements the recently published “Checklist for Preventing Violence against Women through Formal and Informal Education”, developed at the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, which is a detailed and practical tool to implement Article 14 of the Istanbul Convention. 

The Video was produced in Ukrainian (with English subtitles) under the Council of Europe project “Combating Violence against Women in Ukraine – Phase II” (COVAW-II).
