It is very important to change this situation. This could be helped by universal education (in the workplace , educational institutions, etc.), the application of legal responsibility, the initiation of public debates and the attention of the media. And, of course, projects like this. In other words, the whole, because there is no single tool to promote change. And above all, I want my children to discover their unique vocation, put a lot of work into it and firmly believe and trust themselves. “

Although the opera soloist Ieva Prudnikovaitė, one of the ambassadors of the project prof. The daughter of Vladimir Prudnikov, says in her environment with an evaluation of what work is male and what is female, is not found, “but recognizes that this perception still exists in our nation – supposedly the place of a woman in the pots.” It must be understood that we are a young nation, the mindset continues to take shape, and change takes time. Little by little, both globally and in our country, there is no longer a difference in terms of gender, age, races, etc., which is really gratifying. I am thankful to my dad for that did not stick I according to my imagination, what kind of work should I do. I freely chose my profession and felt the support of my family, ”says I. Prudnikovaitė.

“It’s so painful, but it’s like invisible We really have a lot of problems like this in society. So it’s definitely time to talk about them. Speak in public and out loud. I can say that even when they go to work for us, women tend to ask for lower wages than men. Although they are intelligent, hard-working, professional. So parents, first of all, raise your daughters’ self-esteem, “said Nijolė Kvietkauskaitė, director of Palink, during the event.

The initiators of the social campaign invite everyone who wants children in Lithuania to grow up to choose a profession that they freely join, regardless of stereotypes instilled in society, close people and perhaps even parents. “The project is a reminder that we are all connected and that each of us is affected by one another. And most importantly, we all have the power to influence the environment and the future. Therefore, it is necessary to work together and start with yourself, the environment closest to you: talking, discussing these issues with family, children, friends, colleagues. Do not be indifferent “, encourages I.Jablonskė.
