The Gender Equality Curriculum for children forms part of the CFS material. It entails a series of learning activities on gender equality and games for children aged from 2 to 11 years old. Activities are presented under three sections that link cognitive, emotional, and social learning and associate self-perceptions on gender with sociocultural aspects of its expressions:

  • Knowing ourselves and other children
  • Emotions and gender
  • Gender roles in society


The curriculum aims to aspire educators, CFS facilitators and children’s trainers to incorporate a gender perspective when implementing educational and recreational activities; While valuable resources on promoting gender equality to children are available, there is a limited number of complete guides offering a bundle of interlinked activities that promote gender equality for both pre-school and primary school children. Following a gender transformative approach, the Gender Equality Curriculum for children seeks to set the stage and help children challenge gender stereotypes, respect diversity, and contribute to a world where all individuals are treated with dignity and have equal opportunities to thrive.
