AGEISM
/ˈEꞮDƷꞮZ(Ə)M/
“Prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person's age.” – Oxford Languages
WOMANHOOD
/ˈWƱMƏNHƱD/
“The state or condition of being a woman.” – Oxford Languages
During this event, we will learn from our guest expert and explore this powerful topic connected to the intersection of age and womanhood, and by extension ageism and sexism. Ageism, as you know, impacts every place on the age continuum, in both similar and differing ways.
Join us on 25 August at 15h30 Switzerland/ 09h30 New York / 20h30 Bangkok.
