Resource Title
URARI – Equality: Exploring gender equality through a global lens. A CSPE/Citizenship Resource
Summary
This CSPE/ Citizenship resource has been designed in a way that you can choose how many classes you would like to spend exploring Gender with a selection of introductory activities and case studies to bring the issues to life.
Today, the expectation both in Irish, UK and international law is that men and women are equal and treated accordingly. Yet gender inequality remains a feature in every region in the world. In developing countries where Trócaire works, this inequality is exacerbated by extreme poverty.

The resource has been designed in a way that you can choose how many classes you would like to spend exploring Gender with a selection of introductory activities and case studies to bring the issues to life. The Action component comes at the centre of the resource but we recommend that the students complete at least one of the activities on pages 4-13 before preparing for action.
