The (un)conscious bias
The importance of smashing gender stereotypes
"Gender stereotypes strike early. From the age of six,
children associate traits like ‘intelligence’ with being a boy and
‘niceness’ with being a girl. Gender stereotypes continue to damage
children everywhere – and affect their whole life. [...]
Stereotypes contribute towards the mental health crisis among children
and young people, are at the root of girls’ problems with body image and
eating disorders, higher male suicide rates and violence against women
and girls."
