Los niños se están quedando atrás en las escuelas en cuanto a tasas de graduación, finalización de estudios y nivel de grado, en comparación con las niñas en más de 90 países de todo el mundo, según investigaciones realizadas por la UNESCO y el Banco Mundial.

On April 5, 2023, the Global Boyhood Initiative Webinar Series hosted a discussion, “Boys & Education: What Does Gender-Transformative Education Look Like?” We were joined by a panel of experts from Room to Read, UNESCO, UNGEI, World Bank, and Equimundo.

Equimundo’s President and CEO, Gary Barker, moderated a discussion about transformative, scalable and evidence-based approaches and their applications across various geographies, and what approaches education systems and adult caregivers of young boys can adapt to promote healthy, emotionally connected and non-violent boyhood and to advance education for boys. By accompanying efforts to promote girls’ education and empowerment, not only does this positively impact the lives of boys, but it is also essential to achieve the full equality of women and girls.
