Abstract:
This article can be contextualized within the educational research in the area of Gender Pedagogy. Initially, we explore the extent to which sexist dynamics are reproduced even in the context of allegedly egalitarian participatory spaces. We also attempt to identify the factors that can facilitate or hinder the recognition of sexism within their own reference group, by women. This process is facilitated by a survey that was filled on-line by 84 activists of social movements from different national backgrounds. In conclusion, we propose reflections for the manner in which our findings should to be taken into account in order to design educational initiatives towards the resolution of sexist dynamics in society.
