A Global Movement Toward a Gender-Equal World in and Through Education
The Accelerator for Shifting Gender Norms through Education brings together organizations with a proven track record for developing effective programming to prevent harmful gender stereotypes.
​​
​Our partners include organizations working in historically low- and middle-income communities in Asia, Latin America and Africa, as well as those with thematic expertise in relevant areas, such as gender-based violence in schools, comprehensive sexuality education, girls’ agency, working with men and boys, government engagement, and content and media creation.
We Are Colloborating To:
Establish a Learning-by-Doing Hub: Assemble select implementing organizations focused on shifting harmful gender stereotypes, norms, attitudes and beliefs in public schools.
​
Deepen Programming and Generate Public Goods: Foster a community of practice to enhance programming. Create public goods such as curricula, content, teacher training materials and advocacy briefs to shape the narrative on effective gender norm-shifting strategies for advancing gender equality through the education sector.
​
Design and Test Key Metrics for Measuring Shifting Gender Norms Programming: Develop a common results framework and assessment tools for the sector to further evidence generation.
​
Build a Movement: Establish a go-to resource and community for nonprofit organizations, funders, and governments interested in adolescent gender norm shifting programming within the education sector.
Our Vision
A world where every adolescent can thrive and reach their full potential, regardless of gender.
