'Chatbot NoMoreGringe.Powerbank has been launched on the Telegram messaging
app, which explains to teenagers stereotypes related to gender, discrimination,
equality, and more.

Reports that the NGO PISLAZAVTRA is implementing the project with the financial
support of the European Union.

What is the problem?

85% of Ukrainian teenagers want to develop inclusive thinking and behavior
through comprehensive explanations, games, quizzes, and videos at school and
home. This was shown by a survey of 1,059 teenagers from 25 cities in Ukraine
conducted by the Biasless team (NGO PISLAZAVTRA) in August 2022. 40% of the
surveyed teenagers said that they feel the desire and passion to start acting
as local gender promoters/activists.

What is the solution?

In response to the request of Ukrainian teenagers within the program "EU for
gender equality: together against gender stereotypes and gender-based
violence," financed by the European Union and implemented jointly by the UN
Women in Ukraine and UNFPA, chatbot NoMoreGringe.Powerbank was developed in
Ukraine, which tells teenagers about stereotypes related to gender,
discrimination, equality, and more.

#nomoregringe is a neologism derived from the slang word "Cringe" — a feeling
of embarrassment, as well as the letter "G" from the word "gender." [Gringe] is
the shame and embarrassment you feel when someone practices or voices gender
stereotypes.'
