Preventing gender-based discrimination and promoting gender inclusiveness in education

Overview

The richness and complexity of gender related topics requires teachers and education staff to enhance their knowledge, skills and attitudes related to gender-responsiveness and inclusivenss.

By facing gender stereotypes, empowering students to express their unique self and fostering confidence in their personalities, educators can have a crucial role in preventing gender-based discrimination and fostering inclusive learning environments.

Such responsiveness passes through the promotion of self-reflection and self-awareness, the activation of anti-discriminatory and anti-harassment practices and the ability to implement tools and strategies to make students feel listened, understood and respected.
