Equity leads to Equality!
Join us in creating a more equitable future for all children in Bangladesh NOW!
What makes Ghuri youth organization and Ghuri school different from other organizations is we are dedicated to fostering a more equitable and inclusive environment for all children and youth in Bangladesh, regardless of their gender identity. To us, Gender Equity means respecting everyone equally, without judging them based on their gender and addressing their historical and social disadvantages. We believe in equal outcomes for women, men and gender-diverse people.
Our programs are designed to address gender-based disparities and empower all children to reach their full potential.
Comprehensive Sexuality Education: We provide age-appropriate sexuality education that promotes understanding, respect, and healthy relationships. Our programs cover topics such as sexual health, consent, and gender identity.
Third Gender Rights: We advocate for the rights of individuals who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, or intersex. Our programs promote acceptance, inclusion, and non-discrimination based on gender identity.
Gender-Based Education: We strive to create educational environments that are free from gender stereotypes and discrimination. Our programs promote gender-sensitive teaching practices and encourage all children to participate fully in their education.
Combating Gender-Based Violence (GBV): We are committed to combating gender-based violence, including child marriage, sexual abuse, and harmful traditional practices. Our programs raise awareness about these issues and provide support services to survivors.
Gender-inclusive teaching methods: Our teachers are trained to use gender-inclusive teaching methods that promote equal participation and respect for all students, such as using cooperative learning strategies, providing opportunities for all students to participate, avoiding gender-specific language, and encouraging students to challenge gender stereotypes.
Empowering All Children: We empower all children, regardless of their gender identity or expression, through various initiatives, including leadership training, life skills development, and access to vocational education. Our programs aim to equip children with the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Work in progress
Gender-specific clubs and activities: We are working towards offering gender-specific clubs and activities to provide a safe and supportive space for children to develop leadership skills, such as girls’ clubs focusing on empowerment, boys’ clubs promoting healthy masculinity, and acceptance of all gender identities.
Gender-focused research: We are planning to support our students to conduct research on gender-related issues to inform our programs and advocacy efforts, such as studying the experiences of girls and boys in our programs, conducting research on gender-based violence, analyzing the effectiveness of our gender-specific programs, and collaborating with researchers to advance knowledge on gender equality and child well-being.
Advocacy for Gender Equity: We advocate for policies and practices that promote gender equity at both the national and community levels. Our efforts include working with government officials, policymakers, and community leaders to advance gender equality.
