Promoting Gender Equality in Public Schools.
About
This project aims to strengthen inclusion and gender equalityty in Public Elementary schools in Mexico to improve children self- esteem, promote human rights, empower girls and promote respect between boys and girls. We promote inclusion and gender equity through the implementation of different human development programs where children will obtain socio emotional abilities to generate safe, inclusive family and school environments, where gender equity and healthy coexistence is essential.
Need
Despite the progress made, gender equality in Mexico is still a big challenge to overcome. Accountability of gender equality achievement is still deficient, a cause of concern is the escalation of generalized violence against women in Mexico. PROED has incorporated gender perspective in this program with the key priority of eradicating violence against women and girls, economically empowering girls in the future, and allowing them to become future active decision makers in their communities.
Long term impact
This project will allow girls to identify and be able to speak out against violence percieved in home and school environments. It will also encourage girls to continue their studies, so they could become economically active in their communities when they graduate. It will also, give them the courage to speak about gender related issues that will benefit future generations, being political participants and decision makers. This project aims to encourage them in all these aspects.
