What does gender inequality look like in an Anganwadi?
It can show up in small, everyday moments. Who is encouraged to answer first, who gets to lead, what kinds of play children are drawn towards, whose ideas are taken seriously, etc.
These moments may seem ordinary. But over time, they can shape how children participate, express themselves, and explore.
At the Centre for Learning Resources (CLR), gender equality messaging is part of our curriculum and is implicitly included in our teaching practices. In addition to that, we also promote gender equality through posters, cards, stories, and equal opportunities for play, conversation, and engagement in Anganwadis and classrooms.
Gender informed reporting, gender dynamic analysis, and gender-sensitive messaging is integrated into our project development processes.
Additionally, through our action research on gender-sensitive practices in Anganwadis, we focus on how gender can be meaningfully integrated into ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ (๐๐๐) & ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป (๐๐๐) by strengthening the ๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ, ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ (๐๐๐ฃ) of frontline workers.

For CLR, gender-responsive practice begins with noticing everyday patterns of gender inequality, reflecting on them, and using that understanding to strengthen practice.
This International Day of the Girl Child, letโs pay attention to the small practices that can make learning spaces more equitable.
