workers. The purpose of the Center's activity is to promote the implementation of
gender education through the provision of scientific and practical assistance to teachers
and students on the implementation of gender culture and gender approaches in the
educational process.
Within the framework of the Center, the following events take place: breeding
ring "Gender stereotypes; surveying and creating statistical data "Attitudes to
representatives of the LGBT community"; scientific flash mob "March - the month of
women's history"; monthly issue of "The Gender Ray"; activity of the scientific circle

"STOP Violence against Women"; "My mother is a professional"; training programs:
"Tolerant attitude towards representatives of the LGBT community"; "Youth
Preparation for Family Life" (April-May).
Since the fourth year studied students were active participants in these events, the

that they knew such addicted women, moreover, dependent on alcohol - more than
