A program to teach gender-equality
[]
India Together
For instance, surveys reveal that while many support equal educational opportunities for boys and girls, they simultaneously argue that “women should be less educated than the men they marry”, suggesting that social attitudes rather than ability or ambition constrain women’s advancement. Research in psychology suggests there might be a window in the teenage years when adolescents are both curious about the opposite gender, as well as open to changing their attitudes on social and economic roles of women vis-à-vis men. The program resulted in big changes in gender attitudes right after program ended, which persisted for at least three years.
