Equality and Feminism I can talk about what gender equality and feminism mean to me. I am developing skills and confidence to challenge inequality and abuse of power. rshp.scot

Men can… Women can…. rshp.scot

Question time: Do you believe in the equality of all people?

Do you believe that women and men should be paid the same money for the same job?

Do you believe that girls and women and boys and men should be safe in their own home and in the street?

Do you think boys/men and girls/women should do the same amount of work at home?

Do you think that women and men should be equally involved in bringing up their children?

What is equality? Equality is about making sure that every person has the same chances to make the most of their lives and talents. rshp.scot

What is equality? It is also the belief that no one should have poorer life chances because of the way they were born, where they come from, what they believe, or whether they have a disability. Equality recognises that certain groups of people like girls/women, LGBT people, people with disabilities or people from Black/Minority Ethnic communities have experienced discrimination. rshp.scot

Feminism is a movement to bring about equal rights for women Feminism is a movement to bring about equal rights for women. Feminism is about making sure women and girls can be free to be who they want to be. rshp.scot

Feminism is important now because while in many ways men/boys and women/girls have the same opportunities, there are still important ways in which women and girls are discriminated against. rshp.scot

For example: Although women make up 51% of the population, they are in a minority in positions of power like being an MSP (only 1 in 3 are women). Girls can be made to feel that certain subjects (like science or computing) or activities (like football or gaming) are not for them (this can apply to boys too). rshp.scot

 For example: Women might be paid less than men for doing the same/similar job. In almost all big companies there is gender pay gap – so on average women workers earn less than men do. In many families, women/girls are expected to do more of the domestic chores or childcare. rshp.scot

For example: Women/girls are often expected to look and behave in certain ways – to be a stereotype of what feminine should be. On the other hand, when they enjoy dressing up they can be called negative things and blamed if they are harassed or attacked. Women and girls are more likely to experience sexual harassment and sexual violence. Women and girls can be blamed or shamed when they are the ones who experience these things. rshp.scot

Do you consider yourself to be a feminist? rshp.scot

Can a man be a feminist? What’s feminism got to do with boys and men? rshp.scot
