About the course

In India, 34.54 % girls have no access to education; low aspiration • 2 out of 4 children are sexually abused; • 34% child brides in India; highest number of child brides; 25% were married • Gender-based violence and discrimination; normalized violence • Discriminatory teaching practices and education materials Such are the troubling statistics which clearly state the status of children in India. Every day, children and women have experiences, opportunities and vulnerabilities that are gendered. And it starts at a very young age and school plays a significant role in perpetuating the gendered environment. Thus through this course, our aim is to make school students and teachers sensitive about gender issues and promote critical thinking among children to question stereotypes, deconstruct identities such that a positive gender equity ideology can be created right at the formative years of the child. Our aim is to create a generation of equals who shall push the gender agenda gradually.
