TEMA: GENDER EQUALITY- IGUALDAD DE GÉNERO

IS THE BARBIE MOVIE ABOUT WOMEN, MEN AND GENDER EQUALITY?


¿La película de Barbie es acerca de mujeres, hombres e igualdad de
género?
Sabemos que mujeres y hombres somos diferentes y eso no constituye un problema.
Entre las mujeres y entre los hombres existen diferencias, por ejemplo, de cultura, edad,
nivel educativo, situación económica, entre otras. Las diferencias se convierten en un
problema cuando de ellas se derivan desigualdades en el acceso a derechos, es decir,
cuando en virtud de las diferencias se establecen relaciones de poder que afectan las
condiciones de las personas para tener una vida digna.
El principal objetivo es que luego de ver la película “Barbie” se generen preguntas sobre
la igualdad de género incentivando primeramente la lectura (en inglés) y promoviendo
la participación respecto de sus experiencias y creencias relacionadas con la
construcción de roles. El objetivo implica poder escuchar, respetar las diferencias y
disensos, y también poder generar acuerdos y consensos sobre los temas.
