#Break the bias. That is this year’s slogan for Women’s day. Where should this begin? At home? at school? at work place? Are some jobs considered more masculine or more suitable for females? Are some subjects better for one of the genders? How do we avoid stereotyping as educators and parents? Happy Women’s Day to all women and also men. Why not?

Have you ever felt like your gender limits you? This talk explores just that- gender roles. Be prepared to learn about the origins, effects, and solutions to stereotypical gender roles in the society around us. Can you imagine a world where we aren’t restricted by gender roles? Ria Chinchankar, a ninth grade student at Dubai American Academy can. This Mulan-inspired feminist discusses the extensive history of gender roles in various societies, how they harm us, and what we can do to combat them. Gender equality is possible, but only if we take the steps to make it happen.
