Activity 1: What is the connection between literacy and gender?
Activity 2: Read Gender Equity Begins with Literacy.
Activity 3: Read Disrupting Dichotomies for Social Change. This is a longer scholarly article and a bigger time investment. If you only have time for a smaller dose, I’d suggest reading the first two and the last two pages, to get an overview of the issues related to gender and literacy, and to read about some recommended steps to improve the inequality that exists here.
