Η επιμόρφωση στο Πάντειο Πανεπιστήμιο έλαβε χώρα στο Εργαστήριο Σπουδών Φύλου του Τμήματος Κοινωνικής Πολιτικής (http://www.genderstudies-panteion.gr/en/). Σε κάθε ομάδα συμμετείχαν 12-14 περίπου άτομα, συμπεριλαμβανομένων μελών ΔΕΠ, διοικητικού προσωπικού και φοιτητών/τριών. Οι συμμετέχοντες/ουσες παρακολούθησαν δύο 4-ωρα επιμορφωτικά σεμινάρια με τις ειδικούς σε θέματα σεξουαλικής και έμφυλης βίας, κ. Ματίνα Παπαγιαννοπούλου και Δρ. Κική Πετρουλάκη.
 
Τα σεμινάρια στοχεύουν στην ευαισθητοποίηση σε ζητήματα σεξουαλικής παρενόχλησης στο πανεπιστήμιο και έμφυλης βίας ευρύτερα μέσα από την εξέταση θεωρητικών προβληματισμών και πλαισίων πολιτικής, καθώς και μέσω πρακτικών ασκήσεων για την αντιμετώπιση περιστατικών και την υποστήριξη των θυμάτων. Οι ομάδες των επιμορφούμενων ανταποκρίθηκαν με μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον και εξέφρασαν την επιθυμία να αναπτυχθούν περαιτέρω συστηματικές δράσεις ή και αυτο-οργανωμένες πρωτοβουλίες στο πανεπιστήμιο για την αντιμετώπιση του ζητήματος της σεξουαλικής και έμφυλης βίας.
