Although some countries have made laudable progress towards greater gender equality, discrimination against women and girls still exists everywhere. Intersecting with other forms of discrimination based, for example, on income, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. These rights violations disproportionately harm women and girls.
Ultimately, gender inequality affects everyone’s health and well-being. In many countries, laws that discriminate against women and girls remain in force, while laws that uphold women’s basic rights and protect them against harm and unequal treatment are far from the norm.
Education:
Zero Discrimination Day is a pedagogical activity teachers must include into school curriculum.
We know that discrimination exists at school between students. How often teachers are called to help some students who are suffering some stigma and discrimination from their schoolmates.
And on these days there is violence against girls by boys as boy friends. Or at home between mother and father.
Teachers must discuss clearly these subjects at the classroom. Violence against girls and women is a huge problem in our society.
Not only today but everyday, in our lessons, at school, teachers and students have the chance to celebrate diversity and reject discrimination.
It's time to develop some important values in everyday lessons as comprehension, compassion, tolerance, solidarity, encouragement, friendship.
Teachers will prepare some activities to include Zero Discrimination Day into their lessons next week.
Being inspired by the butterfly, the symbol for zero discrimination, students can debating the role of women and girls in the XXI century.
Of course teachers will adapt resources and activities to the level they are teaching and age of students.
