GENDER EQUALITY

Everyone Has Feelings!

Practice and Stand-Up for Equality. It is okay to express any and all
emotions you have.
We are influenced to play specific roles and behave in certain ways
by the many people in our lives. Sometimes, these roles may not be
fair. We should all be able to be our true selves and do the things we
like best without worrying what other people think! Practicing
gender equality helps us feel represented, understood, and
supported! We can increase our awareness and allow ourselves and
others to be their best selves!
Jobs Aren't Gendered Play What You Want! Diversity of the World!

& pick the career of their dreams! competencies. in films, books, or television!
