This month at Ngala, we are acknowledging the strong women leaders in our lives, as part of the Community Respect & Equality initiative.
Strong Self Strong Spirit spoke to their participants about what the Community Respect & Equality is, what gender equality means to our them, we learnt that gender equality is when boys and girls enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities, and protections.
We played a true or false game to test our understanding, with participants moving around the room if they thought the statement was true or false. Statements included: boys are stronger and faster than girls, only girls are kind, girls can cry, boys can’t, boys and girls are brave, boys and girls deserve the same opportunities. We stopped and talked about our beliefs and why we felt a certain way with lots of stories and examples!
We then spoke about strong, independent women in our lives and in the media (especially The Matildas and The Diamonds recently), and wrote a thankyou note to a strong, independent woman or girl in our lives.
