Abstract

The forms of relationships and behavior in families with older women need to be reexamined, and the ethics of care must be mainstreamed to ensure that they receive the help and care they need. Multidisciplinary approaches and gender studies are analyzed. Women's longevity is a fact, and there is now an urgent and unavoidable need to include values such as solidarity, equality, and ethics of care in the education system. Research projects and educational interventions have been developed in various countries of the European Union. They consistently demonstrate the emergence of a new adolescent breaking with the hegemony of patriarchal masculinity and breaking down gender stereotypes, making it possible to express feelings and live in freedom.
