An international research project “RE-WIRING – Realising Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation and Empowerment”, in which UG is a partner, has received funding under the Horizon Europe Programme. The project leader is Utrecht University and activities are carried out in six countries in Europe and Africa.

The team on the University of Gdansk side consists of:

  • Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka, PhD, DSc, Prof of the UG, Project Manager on the UG side (Institute of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences)

  • Sylwia Mrozowska, PhD, DSc, Prof of the UG (Institute of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, Centre for Sustainable Development, UG)

  • Magdalena Żadkowska, PhD (Institute of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences)

  • Barbara Kijewska, PhD (Institute of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, Centre for Sustainable Development UG)

  • Joanna Kruczalak-Jankowska, PhD, DSc, Prof of the UG (Equal Treatment and Anti-Harassment Advocate, Department of Commercial Law, Faculty of Law and Administration)

  • Jolanta Mrozek-Kwiatkowska, MSc (project coordinator, Centre for Sustainable Development UG)

The essence of RE-WIRING is to analyse the prevailing legal, political, social and cultural and educational arrangements contributing to discrimination against women and girls with a view to change, through redesigning existing legal, policy and institutional approaches. This includes not only the systems for legislating, implementing, monitoring and enforcing equality laws and policies as such, but also the policies and actions of all societal actors involved – not only governments and other public bodies, but also companies, banks, social partners, health institutions, schools and academia, the media and closer to home, the family and, for example, women’s organisations or religious groups. The ambition of the RE-WIRING project is to go beyond existing doctrinal and political transformative approaches to equality.
