On 25th November, we celebrated the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. We decided to work on gender role stereotypes with some of the students in first and second year secondary school. They were requested to describe what the opposite gender is like, so boys described girls and girls described boys, and they also had to draw someone of the opposite gender performing an activity which they consider is not typical.
Of course, the aim of the exercise is not to promote gender role stereotypes but to identify these roles in order to escape them. Our students have noticed we are all unique and no stereotypes can define what we are like.
Enjoy our students' posters:
