Short Summary |
How can education in Asia become more gender
sensitive? The GENIA toolkit provides a collection of practical resources
for gender focal points in Asian Ministries of Education (MoE). It
aims to build the technical capacity of gender focal points to mainstream
gender at national and regional levels. The Toolkit consists of a
collection of gender sensitisation and training tools such as the
"Gender Equality Donkey" and the "Climbing the Steps: Gender Equity
to Gender Equality" visual aid. It also contains the "Gender Lens
Series" which is a set of checklists, criteria and evaluation frameworks
for "seeing" women's and men's participation, needs and realities
more clearly. In this series, there are gender lenses for education
projects, for measuring the child-friendliness of schools, for creating
curriculum and textbooks free of gender bias, for measuring the gender-friendliness
of MoE departments and for measuring the gender responsiveness of
community learning centres (CLCs). A network of gender focal points
in Asian MoEs was also formed as part of this project. (Scroll down
