As part of the project on the prevention of gender-based violence (GON) at the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages for first-year students on March 14, 2019 was a lecture. The psychologist of the Czech humanitarian organization "Man in Need" Dolya Inna Valentynivna addressed the applicants for higher education. Professionally presented information contributed to the development of dialogue between the speaker and the audience. It was interesting to learn about the existing myths and realities of life, the effect of the "glass ceiling", responsibility for gender-based violence and more. The students expressed the opinion that such a problem is timely and really needs to be discussed.
