Bring the women's rights movement into the classroom and explore gender inequalities with students.
Discover six lessons focused on helping students to explore women's rights and gender equality, including gender stereotyping, online gender based violence and women and unpaid care work.
Gender-based violence is a global pandemic that disproportionately affects women and girls, gender-nonconforming individuals and people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
This online course explores gender‑based violence as a serious human rights issue. In 90 minutes, learners will discover the different forms of gender‑based violence, their root causes, and how discrimination and inequality fuel them.
The course also looks at ways to raise awareness and take action to prevent and challenge violence against women, girls, and people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
This online course will help learners develop a comprehensive understanding of how gender-based violence manifests in online spaces, its impact on human rights and gender equality globally, and the knowledge and tools to effectively advocate for and promote gender justice.
From identifying different forms of online gender-based violence to developing strategies for prevention and addressing its impact, learners will be equipped with the skills needed to take action and create positive change.
This online course explores gender justice as a core human rights issue and equips learners to take action for equality.
Over three weeks, learners will explore key concepts such as gender, intersectionality and social power, examine the rise and impact of anti‑gender movements, and explore practical strategies to advance gender justice.
Drawing on real‑world case studies and Amnesty International’s expertise, the course supports learners to challenge discrimination and play an active role in building a more just and inclusive future.
