Identify and act against gender discrimination to develop inclusive professional practice

Gender discrimination is defined by the Institute for Equality of Women and Men as "any situation where a person is treated less positively because of their sex or gender." (Etat des lieux des discriminations de genre en Belgique, 2016). Sometimes direct, gender discrimination can also take more subtle forms that are difficult to identify, either by the person who initiated the discriminatory behavior or by the person who is subjected to it. These more subtle forms are nevertheless not without consequences, which is why it is important to identify them and to understand them as well as possible. Social and occupational psychology can help us to name and better understand these processes and the issues associated with them, particularly in the workplace, in order to develop a more inclusive practice. This conference aims to present the concepts and issues associated with gender discrimination and to propose avenues for reflection and action.
