▶ States should step up their fight against sexism in all walks of life, according to a Recommendation<\/a> just adopted by the Council of Europe\u2019s Committee of Ministers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

▶ In response to the #MeToo<\/strong> and other recent movements that have heightened awareness of persistent sexism in society, the Council of Europe\u2019s Committee of Ministers adopted a recommendation to stop sexism, which includes the first ever internationally agreed definition of it.<\/p>\n

▶ The Recommendation stresses that sexism is a manifestation of \u201chistorically unequal power relations\u201d between women and men,<\/strong> which leads to discrimination and prevents the full advancement of women in society.<\/p>\n

Because it is \u201cwidespread and prevalent in all sectors and all societies, and (\u2026) sexism and sexist behaviour are rooted in and reinforce gender stereotypes,\u201d<\/em> sexism is defined for the first time ever in a dedicated legal instrument to tackle it, via a comprehensive list of measures and areas where sexism occurs, from advertising and media, to employment, the justice sector, education and sport.<\/p>\n

▶ The text in particular aims to shed light on what sexist behaviour is and proposes concrete ways for different actors to identify and address them.<\/strong><\/p>\n
