Why we need to challenge gender stereotypes from birth
Gender stereotypes are everywhere — but do we really notice them? From the clothes we buy to the stories we tell, subtle messages about gender start shaping children’s worlds from the very beginning.
Join us for this thought-provoking and practical session with Clare, as we uncover just how deeply gender stereotypes run, where they come from, and - most importantly - what we can do to challenge them without sparking conflict at home or in our communities.
Ever heard a parent say “she’s such a girly girl” or a teacher remark “boys don’t like books with girls as main characters”? Clare will unpack how these ideas take hold so early, the lasting impact they have, and how small, conscious changes in language, play, books, and clothing choices can make a big difference.
Insightful, engaging, and refreshingly down-to-earth, Clare’s talk is perfect for anyone who is curious about how early gender norms shape the adults we become - and why these patterns still echo in the workplace today.
