Project name:

Gender and Energy

Project location:

Llera de Canales, Tamaulipas

We promote the empowerment of girls and young people in our neighboring communities. In support of this, we organized Gender and Energy workshops at K-12 schools in Mesa La Paz. The interactive workshops included discussions, art activities and a time of reflection about the issue. The themes covered in the workshops included:

  • Gender roles
  • Labor roles
  • Inequality and discrimination
  • Right to live a life without violence
  • Relationship between gender and energy

Impact:

130+ school children between the ages of 10-19 across six local schools. 95% satisfaction rate reported in the post-workshop assessment. The key conclusions the students drew from the workshops included: 

  • Men and women should respect each other
  • Even though men and women are physically different, they have the exact same rights and should not be discriminated or mistreated

Partners:
