🌍 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄? Only 𝟰% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗶𝗱 is dedicated to programs where gender equality is the primary goal. This means that out of all the funds provided by developed countries to support global development, a tiny fraction goes to initiatives focused exclusively on empowering women and girls. This figure is stark, especially when juxtaposed with global commitments to SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and the increasing policy focus among countries like the Netherlands and Spain. Despite decades of advocacy, the share of aid prioritizing gender equality has remained static, underscoring a gap between intentions and action. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

The AGEE Framework is reshaping how we measure gender equality in and through education. By analysing cross-national data, it identifies progress and uncovers gaps. The Framework emphasizes participatory processes and meaningful indicators that go beyond gender parity to address systemic barriers. Led by UCL with UNESCO, Equal Measures, and the University of Malawi, this project empowers countries to build inclusive education systems that ensure every child can thrive. By fostering collaboration and data-driven insights, AGEE helps bridge gaps, ensuring education systems work for everyone.

FROM SCRIPT TO IMPACT: A CASE STUDY ON TRANSFORMING GENDER EQUALITY CAMPAIGNS Addressing gender inequality often requires shifting deeply rooted beliefs. Performing arts offer a unique medium to spark dialogue and inspire change, as seen in a successful campaign in West Africa. The Problem A rural community faced entrenched norms that limited women’s participation in education and decision-making. Traditional awareness efforts made little progress, as they lacked emotional resonance. The Solution: Theatre for Change Local artists worked with development experts to create a play addressing these issues. The narrative followed a young girl overcoming societal barriers to pursue education. By using humour, conflict, and relatable characters, the play inspired empathy and reflection. Community Involvement Workshops allowed community members to contribute to the script, ensuring cultural relevance. After performances, facilitated discussions encouraged men and women to voice their thoughts and explore solutions together. The Impact Within months, the community reported: - Increased school attendance for girls. - Men advocating for shared decision-making at home. - Greater willingness to discuss gender equality openly. This case study highlights the transformative potential of performing arts when combined with participatory methods. #CulturalEmpowerment #BreakingBarriers #SocialImpactStorytelling #GirlsEducationMatters #TransformingNorms #InclusiveDevelopment #GenderEqualityCampaign #CommunityDrivenChange
