We want to introduce some important aspects about the concept of “Gender Perspective”; how it’s found in the current educational system and what general initiatives will be implemented for its utilization. This has the goal to lay some foundations to better understand the current landscape in the country, which concerns education.
- The Ministry of Public Education, SEP, has published its Program for Inclusion and Educational Equality, in which the concept of “Gender Perspective” is defined.
- The Program is linked to the 2030 Agenda, which was approved in September 2015 at the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development in New York, where 150 world leaders attended.
- Within the points of the 2030 Agenda, there is Objective 4 that talks about “Quality Education”.
- The aforementioned Program aligns with the slopes of Objective 4 that concern themselves with ensuring an inclusive, equal and quality education, as well as eliminating gender disparities in education.
Now, what does this Program support regarding the Gender Perspective and its integration into education?
- It is the methodology and mechanisms that allow identifying, questioning and valuing discrimination, inequality and exclusion of women.
- It points out that said exclusion is intended to be justified based on the biological differences between women and men.
- It states that actions must be taken to act on gender factors.
- And create the conditions of change that allow progress in the construction of gender equality.
Initiatives
- The Agreement to Eradicate Violence against Girls and Youth in Schools has been signed.
- The issue of gender equality has been included in compulsory education curricula, as well as prevention against discrimination.
What tasks can we carry out?
- Academia. Some of its tasks are, to strengthen research, create innovative solutions and promote continuous training.
- Society. Find information about it, identify exclusive behaviors and stop them.
