3D (Don't Discriminate Daughters)

Project 1 (Title mentioning the International dimension and brief description of the project):	3D (Don’t Discriminate Daughters) Being a girl or a woman in our society is quite challenging. If you are one, then you can recall a number of things which your parents and society says to you but not your brother. In every family, every girl faces discrimination to some extent. It is not necessary that parents are discriminatory, but our surroundings make them over cautious. This is because, they want their daughter to be safe and secure all the time. However, the conditions for REMAINING SAFE, sometimes seems very unfair. And the worst fact is that boys/men seem to be discounted of such “protection “. Ultimately, these things turn into gender inequality. This project is designed from the curriculum topic of social studies of grade 8 and 9 Unit: 3 (Social Problems and their Solutions) This project aims to bring some positive changes in the mentality of students in connection with gender inequality and help them find its causes, impacts and present status in the society and also involve them in finding solutions to this problem.
