the next question in the questionnaire revealed a mixed gender aspect. Moreover, the
boys showed gender equality fairly categorically. Girls have shown greater leniency to
convicted women, given the nature of the woman's existence or projecting it on
themselves (reflecting). The question was as follows: "Should women be punished as
men?" In the ratio "Yes" / "No": boys - 95% / 5%; girls - 40% / 60%. First-year students
showed greater loyalty to women who committed a crime ("There should be exceptions
for women in their health" (Victoria K.), "Looking at what crime they committed"
(Vladislav E.)).
Touching upon the next issue of women, the problem of violence, which has
become a growing trend towards women in society, students had to express their views
on the understanding of the concept of "violence against women in the family". No
course of any discipline of the first year in the specialty "Social Work" involves
familiarizing students with such a problem. As a result, the students of this course on
the question "How do you understand the concept of "violence against women in the
family?", answered unequivocally - "when a man beats a woman" and ask for help
advised to a girlfriend or police. The students of the senior course in the specialty
"Social pedagogy" showed a great deal in this issue, mainly through the study course
of the disciplines: "Pedagogy and psychology of the family", "Method of social and
pedagogical work". Among their responses are the following:
˗ "Violence occurs when a woman permits it" (Darius K.);
˗ "This is the abuse of female feminine by her husband" (Oksana B.);
˗ "Inhibition of moral and harm to the physical health of women" (Inna Zh.);
˗ "A man does not respect himself or his wife, because of this he is mocking her"
(Artem K.);
˗ "Inequality of rights, psychological and physical violence" (Ilya K.).
To such laconic but apt responses, almost all students added that against this,
which speaks of the indifference of young people to the problem of violence against
women in the family.
In the Uman State Pedagogical University named after Pavlo Tychyna, the
Student Social Psychological Service, which prepares informational posters of
violence against women every year until November 25, publishes white ribbons in
support of the protest of the whole world of all forms of violence against women at the
Faculty of Social and Psychological Education.
Service volunteers report violence against women as the most widespread human
rights violation in the world. The fact is that ill-treatment carries more lives and much
more often makes women handicapped than oncology, malaria, road traffic accidents
and military actions taken together.
At the same time, an innovative structure was created at the university, namely
the Gender Center, which acts as a platform for the practice by students - future social
