We are running India's first

Gender-Free Learning Centre

Combining gender-free practices with alternative learning pedagogy

Why our schools are so gendered?

Many of us seem to want gender-equality, but why don’t we have it? Because our current school system divide boys and girls separately and teach gender-inequality from childhood. This become more worst when children enter into separate boys high school or girls high school. In India, most of the schools are gendered or Separate High schools either Boys High School or Girls High School. If schools are either boys or girls school, then where those children go who are gender-diverse? In India we don’t have even one school which can provide safe school.

Gender Binary Children

In Gendered school, both boys and girls affect equally. If we will not give opportunity to our children to interact with each other then how we can expect from them to work together and respect to each other?

Gender-diverse children

The Population of Transgender people in India is around 4 Million and Gay people is 2.5 Million. Around 98% transgender people get thrown out of the home and only 2% stay with their family members.

Opportunities for equality

Gender inequality starts from our home and become even stronger at our school. Transforming mindset of parents is not easy then why not to change our school system. From here children will start questioning to their parents and that will be the beginning of transformation. This will help not only boys and girls but also those who are gender-diverse. Read our model of transformation.
