Ambassadors for Gender Equality & Respect!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

Ambassadors for Gender Equality & Respect<\/em>\u00a0is a youth focused project currently being implemented in the Upper Yarra region of the Yarra Ranges. The project is engaging students from three secondary schools in a series of workshops on the importance of equality for women, men and all genders, and the role young people can have as change makers in the community and the world. Students will not only explore gender equality, but they will develop skills in project development and activism. Participants will also get the chance and will be supported to develop their own activities to raise awareness and engage their peers in this important issue.<\/p>\n

The project also involves a co-design process, and students will use their voice and help develop a gender equality ambassador resource kit that other schools can use to support young people to be ambassadors in the future. Stay tuned for this!<\/p>\n

The project has been designed to complement the current \u2018Rights, Resilience and Respectful Relationships\u2019 roll out and other respectful relationships curriculum, and provide an opportunity for students to make change in their school and the wider community.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ambassador\u2019s for Gender Equality & Respect<\/em>\u00a0project has been developed by Inspiro, GenderWorks, Yarra Ranges Council, EDVOS, Cire Services and Community School, Little Yarra Steiner School, Upper Yarra Secondary College, Eastern Health and Women\u2019s Health East. The project has been funded by Yarra Ranges Council.<\/p>\n

#GE4US Campaign for the 16 Days of Activism<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In 2017, Women’s Health East coordinated the regional social marketing campaign #GE4Us (Gender Equality 4 Us).\u00a0#GE4Us\u00a0engaged with a diverse group of 8\u00a0ambassadors\u00a0from across the eastern region and asked them to share what gender equality means to them and how they see it in action. Their\u00a0stories\u00a0were shared on social media by partner organisations across the region\u00a0to raise awareness in the community of what gender equality means in day to day life and the actions we can take to achieve it.<\/p>\n
