For this year's Multicultural 2023 event at our school, we decided to participate in having a booth to educate and give students the opportunity to talk about the gender stereotypes and gender norms within their culture. We wanted to have a space where students can learn about every culture and ways in which they can smash the patriarchy in their culture. We did this by first explaining what gender stereotypes, gender norms, and patriarchy are with an example of each. We then shared our experiences and stereotypes that we see within or home or culture. With this we created a poster saying “I will smash the patriarchy in my culture by…” for the students to write their thoughts or opinions. We enjoyed interacting with the students to bring awareness and we can’t wait to do it again!
