Amnesty International has developed new educational resources
to help students explore women’s rights and gender-based
issues. The session plans look at challenging areas such as
stereotyping, online violence, and unpaid care work, and are
suitable for primary and secondary schools.
In this session, students look at the idea of stereotypes and the impact they can have. They question gender-related perceptions and discuss ways to stand up to gender inequality.
Gender stereotyping stands in the way of girls and women’s participation in all aspects
of life. In this session, students will discuss stereotyping, and challenge their own gender perceptions and experiences.
This session helps students identify the share of unpaid care work women do at home,
and how this can affect many aspects of their future including work choices. Students
question stereotypical ideas about women, what jobs that leads them in to, and discuss
ways to change this.
Trolling, doxing, digital stalking, cyber-harassment. What do students know about online gender-based violence? This session explores definitions and examples, the impact it has on the right to freely express yourselves, and the way we can all help to make online
