THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LIVE

SAY NO TO STEREOTYPES,
SAY YES TO GENDER EQUALITY
 ICE BREAKING ACTIVITY

Students divide into two circles. Students in the inner circle will not move. students
from the outer circle move clockwise.
The teacher will ask several questions to allow students to get to know each other.
 WHAT DOES
GENDER EQUALITY
MEAN TO US?
Gender equality is when people of all genders have the same rights,
responsibilities, and opportunities. It's like saying everyone gets to play
in the game, and the rules are fair for all, no matter if you're a boy or girl.
When we have gender equality, it's good for everyone. It's like having a
team where each player is valued and can bring their best to the game. It
helps us all do better in school, work, and life!Think about a day at school
or at home. Gender equality means that girls and boys should both have
the same chances to speak up, learn, and play. No one should be left out
or treated differently just because of their gender.

Discussion

After students decide in their teams how to fill in the Venn diagrams a member
from each team will share the results with others in the other teams.
Discuss.
How did they decide upon what went where?
What sort of discussion was there?
Where do their ideas about how to decide come from?
Writing activity
Students finish the sentences individually.
Dress: As a boy/girl I am expected to dress…
Sport: As a boy/girl I am expected to…
Feeling sad: As a boy/girl when I am feeling sad I am expected to…
When a friend makes a mistake: As a boy/girl I am expected to…
Chores around the house: As a boy/girl I am expected to…
Career: As a boy/girl I am expected to…

Students can share their ideas if they feel comfortable.

Single sex group activity
1. Single sex groups come up with answers to the
following questions which they use to create two
separate posters:
What we never want to have said, thought, or done, to us or people in our
group again.
What we want the whole world to know about our group.
2. The groups then come together and present their
sheets to each other.
Follow up discussion about what the different groups
have in common and how gender roles can restrict
individual freedom and opportunities.(optional)
CHALLENGES TO BE FACED
Gender Equality in Education
Despite progress, about 250 million children and youth are out of school according
to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics: 122 million are girls and 128 million are boys.
And women still account for nearly two-thirds of the 763 million adults without basic
literacy skills.
Poverty, geographical isolation, minority status, disability, early marriage and
pregnancy, gender-based violence, and traditional attitudes about the status and
role of women and men, are among the many obstacles that prevent children and
youth from fulfilling their right to participate in, complete and benefit from
education.
CHALLENGES TO BE FACED
Gender Equality in the Workplace
Women earn just 80 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Women in the US held only 26% of leadership roles in 2020.
33% of global businesses have no women in senior management roles.
Worldwide, women hold only 24% of senior leadership positions.
As of 2021, only 41 of Fortune 500 companies are led by female CEOs.
In 2019, the gender pay gap for full-time employees stood at 15.5% in the UK.
In Australian workplaces, the gender pay gap is 13.4% as of May 2021.
Women in the European Union make up 36% of all scientists and engineers.
46.9% of women were employed worldwide in 2019, compared to 72% of men.
 STATISTICS
Around 58% of women in India voluntarily quit their jobs after maternity leave.
Only 29% of women have access to senior roles in the finance sector.
In the U.S., childcare issues cause 33% of female employees to voluntarily leave
their jobs.
Women in Sweden have the highest representation in senior management
positions at 30.1%.
42% of women in the UK have reported experiencing gender-based
discrimination in the workplace.
30% of women in the U.S. labor force feel that their gender has been a barrier to
career advancement.
Female workers in the U.S. are nearly four times more likely than men to say they
have been treated unfairly due to their gender.
 Gender equality in politics
Women’s equal participation and leadership in political and public life
are essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
However, data show that women are underrepresented at all levels of
decision-making worldwide and that achieving gender parity in political life is
far off.
As of 10 January 2024, there are 26 countries where 28 women serve as
Heads of State and/or Government
At the current rate, gender equality in the highest positions of power
will not be reached for another 130 years .
Just 15 countries have a woman Head of State, and 16 countries have a
woman Head of Government.
First-time compiled data by UN Women show that women
represent 22.8 per cent of Cabinet members heading Ministries,
leading a policy area as of 1 January 2023 . There are only 13
countries in which women hold 50 per cent or more of the
positions of Cabinet Ministers leading policy areas .
The five most commonly held portfolios by women Cabinet
Ministers are Women and gender equality, followed by Family and
children affairs, Social inclusion and development, Social
protection and social security, and Indigenous and minority
affairs.
