Introduction to the Program

Contribuye a mejorar la situación de millones de mujeres en el mundo gracias a este Postgraduate certificate”

El Feminismo debe enfrentar la oposición de aquellos que se benefician de la Desigualdad de Género y de la opresión de las mujeres. La lucha por la Igualdad y el fin de la discriminación y la violencia al género femenino a menudo se encuentra con la resistencia de diversos regímenes políticos o contextos culturales, quienes siguen aferrados a los privilegios y poderes que tradicionalmente ha ostentado la figura masculina.

Aunque hoy en día se siguen logrando importantes cambios a nivel global hacia la Igualdad, incluso en países donde parecía impensable, el camino por recorrer continúa siendo muy largo. En este sentido, el profesional de Humanidades puede poner un valioso granito de arena actualizándose en la materia con este Postgraduate certificate. A través de él, recorrerá el papel de los movimientos feministas en los procesos de avance y transformación social, así como las estrategias bajo perspectivas de género en el marco de la Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo.

Todo esto y más estará a su alcance mediante una atractiva modalidad online que hace completamente compaginable esta especialización con cualquier actividad profesional. Así, el alumno gestionará sus propios tiempos académicos, teniendo acceso las 24 horas del día a la mayor biblioteca digital de recursos sobre Cooperation and Equality.
