They often involve a variety of activities tailored to the cultural context and specific needs of the communities involved.

In the educational field, many initiatives aim to raise awareness among students, teachers, and parents about the importance of gender equality. For example, tpromoting educational programs in primary and secondary schools, to spread a culture of gender equality and value differences. Activities include

• • workshops,
  • discussions,
  • the creation of educational materials to challenge stereotypes and promote mutual respect.

Some organizations focus on the economic and social empowerment of women.

For instance, offering training courses on financial literacy, resource management, and entrepreneurship to women in the local community. Volunteers can contribute as educators and trainers, helping participants develop skills to improve their autonomy and quality of life.

UNICEF often launched initiatives to promote gender equality through education.

One of these includes advocating for the introduction of gender equality education in schools to prevent gender-based violence and promote a culture of respect from an early age. Volunteers can get involved in awareness campaigns, educational activities, and training programs for professionals in the sector. By joining these projects, you can expect to engage in educational workshops, awareness campaigns, and empowerment programs.

The shared goal is to increase awareness about gender equality, deconstruct stereotypes, and support the empowerment of women and girls within local communities.
