Very Young Adolescence 2.0: A curriculum to promote gender equality and sexual and reproductive health
This is a 12-week program targeting ages 11 to 14. The curriculum is comprised of interactive activities, case discussions, collaborative projects, and discovery learning exploring gender inequalities and their consequences. By participating, boys and girls will be able to (1) recognize and question unequal relations of power and privilege that undermine very young adolescents’ well-being; (2) recognize and challenge harmful gender norms in order to promote girls’ agency and empowerment and boys’ care and connection to others; (3) learn to appreciate the sexual and reproductive changes happening to their bodies in age-appropriate and “body positive” ways; and (4) recognize violence and develop the skills to challenge and prevent it.
