The Power of Women’s Equality
Grades 6+
What potential could our world unlock if people were treated equally at home, in society, and in health care systems, regardless of gender?
This highly interactive session will explore some of the inequalities that particularly affect women in places around the world—some obvious, some hidden. We’ll also consider how empowering women and girls can improve life for everyone.
Expect lots of lively discussion as students reflect on the role of gender in their own lives and the changes they hope to see in their own homes and communities.
We’ll divide students into groups of about 15. We encourage teachers to pre-divide their students, if possible.
