Equality Commissioner: History Must Highlight Women's Contribution

The Commissioner for Gender Equality, Josie Christodoulou, emphasized the need for history to equally reflect the contribution of women and to be free of stereotypes. Speaking at a seminar on women in history and its teaching, she stated that women's contributions have often been underestimated or ignored, while education is fundamental to building an equal society. The Cypriot Government is working to promote equality in all areas, including education, and has launched campaigns to highlight women's participation in various sectors. Additionally, the Commissioner stressed the importance of women's digital presence, warning of the risk of 'digital invisibility'.
