Channel: Viv Nofrina
Date: 2020-08-26

This is an optional course for Peace Corps Indonesia Volunteers and schools who would like to build a safe and supportive learning environment for their students. The course is divided into six units, each with specific learning objectives and activities. 

This section talks about how gender role stereotypes contribute to a personal relationship and education, and why protecting children's rights is important. Learning outcomes of this unit are:

1. Following a review of gender-based beliefs and assumptions that influence GBV, participants will examine how masculine and feminine stereotypes contribute to GBV in two social spheres: personal relationships and education.

2. Recognizing gender-related risks and inequalities, participants will propose two reasons why protecting the rights of the child is a national and local priority.

3. After analyzing situations that violate children’s rights, participants will identify two international or national rights that advance gender equality and empowerment for girls and boys.

Assignments on this course are submitted either through Discussion Forum, file submission, or presentation. To get a certificate of completion, participants should finish the course in time and participate in all activities including synchronous sessions through Zoom meetings.
