New Learning Resource Promotes Gender Parity

In recognition of International Women's Day on March 8, a free, one-of-a-kind learning program promoting gender parity and girls' empowerment is now available to B.C. educators. Developed with support from the Ministry of Education and high schools across Metro Vancouver, One Girl Can introduces students to the concept of gender equality and the needs and challenges many girls face across the globe. It also includes boys in a conversation about gender equality and the role they play as allies for change.
 
One Girl Can shows that all children – not just girls – can be a part of positive change. Advancing gender equality is critical to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting the health, education, protection, and the well being of all girls and boys.
