EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) held the Regional Forum on Equality in Education in the Southern Mediterranean in partnership with the Ministry of Education of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 11-12 October 2022. This event was organised in the framework of the regional program “Combating Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in the Southern Mediterranean Region” funded by the European Union (EU).
It gathered over 120 participants from Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia including ministers and ministerial representatives, Members of Parliaments, representatives from the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) embassies, women’s rights organizations, teachers involved in the program, academia, media, and experts. Participants exchanged best practices and challenges and discussed strategies to achieve a more inclusive education in terms of equality and representation.
During the two-days forum, participants discussed how to use the handbook ABC for a Gender Sensitive Education as a tool to improve equality in and through education. Social economic barriers and stereotypes that prevent girls and boys from accessing and benefiting from quality education and learning processes were also part of the dialogue.
