This activity helps you understand how gender equality impacts your daily life and those around you.You’ll start by reflecting on gender-related challenges in your life and exploring how these experiences relate to bigger issues of equality in your community.
﻿
First, get inspired!Yes, we all know it’s the right thing to do. However, Michael Kimmel makes a surprising, funny, practical case for treating men and women equally in the workplace and at home. It’s not a zero-sum game, but a win-win that will give everybody more opportunity and happiness.
﻿
﻿
Listen to a podcast in which young people share how gender stereotypes have impacted their school, work, or personal lives.
﻿
Now, take action:Through these activities, you’ll explore how gender roles and stereotypes shape everyday experiences for yourself and others. You’ll understand how gender equality can positively impact your life and those around you, empowering you to recognize and challenge gender biases in your community.
Think of your own experiences: Consider when gender roles, stereotypes, or expectations affected you or someone close to you. How did it impact your day-to-day life? Share your story with groups and in spaces where you feel safe and comfortable doing this.
Talk to your peers about gender topics: Talk with a friend, family member, or someone in your youth group about what gender equality means to them and how it affects their lives. Ask them how gender roles impact them, and summarise the key points of your conversation.
Lead the group discussion on gender topics: Bring together friends, classmates, or youth group members to discuss gender equality. Pick a theme, guide the conversation, and encourage everyone to share their thoughts. Summarise the discussion and share your key insights in a short reflection or as an audio/video recap.
