00:00Is that the mascot of the University of the Andes is a cow that doesn't have gender?
00:05Well, Seneca, as this character is called,
00:07also the official symbol of the University,
00:10in the last few years has been used as a figure that doesn't admit any discrimination.
00:14In fact, Seneca is against racism, homophobia, xenophobia,
00:18violence based on gender and bullying in general.
00:21And the most interesting thing is that when they describe it, they do it in a neutral way.
00:24While the image of Seneca is considered in the university context,
00:27and specifically for the academic community of that institution,
00:31because, curiously, the Andes sit down really in their campus.
00:34Well, this mascot has become popular in social media
00:37and not because it is a cow that is amicable and ya.
00:40From this character, they seek to promote the well-being, the humor,
00:43and there is a extended message of respect and equity.
00:45Also, remember that at this moment,
00:47those who are mostly born in the university population,
00:50i.e. the Generation Z,
00:52are more than ever identified with the binary categories of gender.
00:55So that a university like Los Andes
00:57recognize publicly that their mascot has no defined identity
01:01and its expression varies to represent
01:03all the different ways of being and being,
01:06is positive.
01:06What other strategies of universities, schools,
01:09or academic spaces,
01:10do you know that foment the gender diversity
01:12and gender diversity?
