Gender Equality in the Curriculum

For our first episode in our International Women's Day series on
the theme #choosetochallenge, we discuss the importance of
embedding gender equality in our schools and our education system
and ideas for how to achieve this.

Our discussion focused on three key ideas: Introducing gender
equality into the curriculum implicitly by addressing the gender
data gap; To explicitly challenge gender inequality and everyday
sexism, and to embed specific/explicit gender equality education
into the curriculum with the aim to stop making feminism a
‘dirty’ word.

This episode idea was suggested to us by YF member Katharine
Roddy as part of our IWD series. Over the next two weeks, we will
be releasing many episodes centred around the theme
#choosetochallenge.
