Just like many of the #SDGs, #genderequality is interconnected with ALL 17 goals! We can all take action and make a difference to help make sure women and girls have the same opportunities as men and boys.

For older learners, check out Oxfam’s resources which explore the inequalities faced by women in work globally, and follow a learn-think-act approach to creating change. Learners will use statistics, an infographic and a range of case studies from around the world to investigate the inequalities that women face in accessing decent work. They will consider their own personal standpoint and how they could create a campaign to raise awareness of this issue.
