In collaboration with the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs (BMFSFJ), the EAF has profiled men who are breaking new ground in their partnerships, families, and careers.

Seven men are featured—ranging from a single-parent top executive and a machine fitter on parental leave to a stay-at-home dad.

After all, changing traditional role models requires winning men over as allies and consciously including them as a target group. This is often one of the greatest challenges for organizational culture. Even though women still take on family responsibilities much more frequently and intensively today, a shift in attitudes is well underway. The more natural it becomes for men to pursue career paths adapted to family obligations, the less women will be perceived as a "risk" by companies.

Update Diversity & Leadership

Four times a year, EAF-Berlin sends out the “Diversity & Leadership” update.

The current issue focuses on “Corporate Political Responsibility.” The “Diversity & Leadership” update is made possible by our corporate partners.

From Elected to Threatened

From Elected to Threatened

The EAF Berlin study “From Elected to Threatened: Experiences of Female Members of the German Bundestag Regarding Violence against Women in Politics ” surveyed current and former members of the Bundestag and highlights how hate, incitement, and gender-based violence influence political work. It becomes clear that these attacks do not merely target individual female politicians; they endanger political participation and, consequently, democratic representation. The study was produced as part of the European project “3R—Recognize, Resist, Rise Up: Tackling Gender-Based Violence against Women in Politics.”

Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz

Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz

Die Studie liefert erstmals repräsentative, branchenübergreifende Daten zu Ausmaß, Erscheinungsformen und Folgen von Sexismus am Arbeitsplatz in Deutschland. Methodisch basiert sie auf einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz, der quantitative Befragungsdaten mit qualitativen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen kombiniert. Durchgeführt wurde die Untersuchung von der EAF Berlin im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung, Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend geförderten Projekts Bündnis „Gemeinsam gegen Sexismus“. Berücksichtigt wurden dabei neben Frauen und Männern ausdrücklich auch trans, inter und nicht-binäre Personen. Auf Grundlage der Studienergebnisse wurden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet, wie staatliche Verantwortung, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und betriebliche Praxis stärker miteinander verzahnt werden können.
