Director of the Ukrainian Institute for Advanced Training of Television, Radio Broadcasting and Press Workers, Secretary of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, Honored Journalist of Ukraine, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences Gleb Golovchenko thinks that the topic of today’s seminar is very important for our society, and media workers. In today’s publications in the press and stories on television, a superior attitude towards women sometimes slips through, emphasizing her inferiority, and this is unacceptable in the modern world. It`s necessary to place accents correctly and treat women with respect. That is why we have gathered today – to set the focus correctly.

The following topics were discussed during the seminar:
– Sexual exploitation, its types and how it`s considered in Ukrainian and international legislation.
– Reproductive exploitation: a problematic issue.
