Have you ever heard someone say things like:
 \u201cBoys should protect girls.\u201d<\/em>
 \u201cGirls should be quiet and not speak up too much.\u201d<\/em>
 \u201cHousework is for girls; boys don\u2019t need to help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These may sound like \u201cold-fashioned thinking\u201d, but they are actually gender stereotypes that make people feel uncomfortable or unfairly treated. Some people stop being themselves because of such words. Others are misunderstood or left out. These are examples of how gender inequality appears in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, the world is working to achieve gender equality and empower women and girls. But gender equality isn\u2019t just a global goal or something only adults need to care about. Each of us can be part of the change\u2014at school, at home and in how we treat others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Define a Person by Their Gender<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has their own personality and interests. We shouldn’t limit people just because they\u2019re a boy or a girl. Boys can enjoy knitting or taking care of younger siblings. Girls can be great at sports or become leaders. When you see someone doing something different from what you expect based on their gender, don\u2019t laugh or judge\u2014instead, try to support and appreciate them. Avoiding the phrase \u2018should\u2019<\/a> gives everyone a chance to be who they truly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say No to Stereotypical Language<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Some phrases are common, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re right. \u2014such as \u2018Boys shouldn\u2019t cry\u2019 or \u2018Girls should be gentle\u2019. These words can make people feel pressured or not good enough. If you hear something like this, speak up or choose not to agree. One less harmful comment means one more act of respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give Everyone a Fair Chance to Shine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When working in groups or choosing team leaders, don\u2019t assume who\u2019s better just because of gender. Try observing and communicating to understand each person\u2019s strengths and ideas. The more people feel heard and included, the stronger and fairer the team will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice Respect and Listening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If a classmate shares how they feel, don\u2019t rush to give advice or change the topic\u2014listen carefully first. You may not fully understand, but you can be there, and show you care. Respect begins with listening. When you truly listen, you offer the strongest kind of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with Gender Equality at Home<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Home is a great place to practise airness and respect. You can help with chores, share tasks fairly with siblings and respect everyone\u2019s opinions. If you hear gender-biased comments, you can gently express your thoughts. More conversations at home lead to more understanding\u2014and more equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equality Begins with Everyday Choices<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gender equality doesn\u2019t always come from big actions. It starts with daily choices: choosing not to make fun of others, not judging based on gender and choosing to listen and encourage. You don\u2019t need to wait until you grow up or become famous. The moment you choose to act fairly is the moment you start making a difference.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

fashioned<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Change this to be: \u2018should\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change these 2 sentence to be what\u2019s below to make it more grammatically correct for formal writing.

Some phrases are common, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re right\u2014such as \u2018Boys shouldn\u2019t cry\u2019 or \u2018Girls should be gentle\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the US version of \u2018practice\u2019 change this to be \u2018practise\u2019 to use the UK version<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection Activity: What would you do?<\/p>\u00b7 <\/strong> Have you ever held back your thoughts or actions because you were afraid of \u201cnot acting like a boy\/girl\u201d?
\u00b7<\/strong> Have you ever put a label on someone because of their gender?
\u00b7<\/strong>  If you saw someone being teased or excluded because of their gender, what would you do?<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
