Kids don’t need a chapter on gender.
They already know the rules.
No one ever told them.
They hear them at home.
In classrooms.
On playgrounds.
Online.
That silence teaches.
We don’t lecture.
We help them notice.
Patterns we keep hearing

Two sets of rules. Almost no space to question.

In every room we work in, the details change but the patterns don’t. Tap a card:

Different rules at home
Same house, different freedoms.
“Bhai can stay out late.” “She should learn how to manage a home.” No one sits everyone down to ask if this feels fair.
Silence in classrooms
Some voices shrink, some fill the room.
A few students talk over others. Some never raise their hand. Teachers see it, but it feels “normal”, so it continues.
Jokes that stick
“It’s just a joke” becomes a rule.
Nicknames, comments on clothes, “don’t be so emotional” — these jokes quietly teach everyone who is allowed to feel what.
Inside a session

It feels more like a game than a lecture.

We move through three simple moves in every workshop:

1 · Notice

Line games, drawing, simple mapping — students spot who gets which rules.

2 · Question

We ask: who benefits, who adjusts, who feels small? No one person is “the villain”.

3 · Try

Each group picks one tiny change to test at home, in class or with friends.

What shifts afterward

We’re aiming for small, noticeable nudges.

Young people start to…

  • Notice when rules feel unfair, not just “how it is”.
  • Use clearer language to explain what feels off.
  • Back each other up in small, everyday moments.
  • See gender as everyone’s topic, not “just for girls”.

Adults tell us they see…

  • More students speaking up in class.
  • Different kids taking leadership roles.
  • Fewer cruel “jokes” passed off as fun.
  • More questions asked at home about fairness.
Bring The Equal Lens to your space

One room. One hour. A conversation that stays.

We work with schools, NGOs and youth groups. Start with a single pilot session and see how your students respond.
