Our society makes distinctions between boys and girls even while they are in the growing phase. Students of Grade 7 discussed prejudices and stereotypes as they delved deeper into the study of gender inequality that has been persistent in our society sinces ages. They talked about the societal mindsets that have bias towards both men and women. They shed light upon the need to respect individual preferences and break the stereotypes. Students till their late teenage years have very impressionable minds. It is during these years they pick their social cues and behaviour from their surroundings. There are different roles which are assigned to boys and girls to prepare them for their future roles as men and women. If from a very early age, we teach them the equality between genders, these boys and girls will grow up to be model citizens and the exercise was an attempt to instrument the objective.
