During a counseling class with 6th grade students, the teacher found that the students considered some trades to be suitable for boys and others for girls, demonstrating ingrained gender inequality. The teacher then held a series of activities to show students that both girls and boys can have the same jobs. Through these activities, the students concluded that girls and boys should have equal rights to any job that makes them happy, regardless of their gender.

2.  Anyone with experience of working or living with
children will know their ability to detect
injustice is highly developed – “but it’s not fair”
is a regular refrain. However we rarely ask them
to channel this natural flair for fairness into
productive and critical discussion about the
nature of equality, what constitutes fair
treatment, and who gets to define such
standards.

3.  During a counseling class, I talked with
students of class VI A about what they would
like them to do in the future. It concluded that
they themselves consider to be some trades
suitable for boys and others for girls only, thus
the idea ingrained gender inequality.
 Later we held a series of activities that we have
demonstrated that both girls and boys can have
the same jobs.
