The state of gender equality in education

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher I can address this by being aware of what is going on around me in my classroom and also throughout my school. I need to intervene in any situations that encounter me regarding gender. I need to make all of my students feel welcome and accepted, regardless of what gender they identify with. If all teachers put forth the effort to do this, we can make a huge differences in our students' lives.

What are the concerns for boys and girls?

# data[].attributes.body
The concerns for boys and girls who experience a lack of support or isolation is: emotional distress, suicide attempts, and risky behavior and substance use. The main concerns for boys are getting made fun of or being ridiculed, being viewed as "weird" or "gay", and not being accepted by their classmates if they break gender norms or have feminine attributes. The concerns for girls are getting bullied, their peers not accepting them, and being an outcast within their school and community.

Teachers need to intervene in conversations regarding gender issues to make their students feel more comfortable and accepted. They need to intervene when they hear derogatory language being used when addressing gender, they need to pay attention to the language being used in the classrooms, and re-frame the conversations between students. Teachers also need to remember that: "lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth must also cope with the prejudice, discrimination, and violence in society, and in some cases, in their own families, schools, and communities."
