A Curatorial Hour Held at the University Ahead of the Upcoming “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” Campaign

On November 9, curator Olzhas Turemuratov held a curatorial hour with students of group PS-15. The meeting focused on gender equality and the elimination of violence against women and girls.

First, participants explored the concept of gender-based violence and discussed its various forms. The students then examined data from the Global Gender Gap Report 2026. According to the report, the global gender gap has been closed by 69.2%, and at the current rate of progress, it will take another 120 years to achieve full gender equality. Particular attention was paid to Kazakhstan's position, ranking 95th out of 145 countries.

The discussion also covered where to seek help and support. The curator reminded students that violence must never be ignored or kept silent about. It is important to seek help in a timely manner and support those who find themselves in difficult situations.
