Equidad de Genero y la Educación | Ana Rodriguez | TEDxQuitoJoven


[Applause]
gender equality has never been
present in the equator for several
religious cultural reasons and up
by the capacity that each
individual
when we are small
there is no limit to what we can
do and what we can achieve in our
lifetime
until adults impose it on us
we are not small we play with
we all play with our shoes
moms with the pillows with boxes in order
everything that is around us
but as we grow
these objects begin to limit and
they start to be controlled
so that our first year of school
we already know what a
woman and what a man should do and
we are only four years old
when I entered pre kindergarten
It surprised me to find myself with a
imaginary barrier between the fields of
men’s soccer and the little houses
women
and for birthdays we all have a
theme men with their bikes with their
cars with their superheroes everything
male
and the women with their little princesses
given and everything pink in short everything
female
but it made me think like how can
be this
and how can we change and how
can institutions change
It’s so simple when we’re in Beijing
we need help from the
we are still not independent
the teachers have to focus on
remove the idea that every object has
a genre and that is in fact for a
gender
we have to focus on the fact that
young children read books with characters
leading the other gender that play
with all the toys that are in the
class and that the recess does not exist a
barrier between games
in primary
in elementary school we separated because the
men stink and women are disgusting
then how are we going to achieve here when
there is this separation this lack of
communication between genders how
make sure there is some equality
Obviously, we are not going to recess
closer to each other then those
teachers have to find a
way that there is a communication
between men and women
and it’s as simple as saying couples
man and woman there is always a
balance in the tables that there always
a balance in group projects and that
in order there is always an idea that
all students in the classroom can
be great that can achieve things be
women men
the secondary high school maybe is
the place to which none of us
wants to go back unless those holidays
without the studies
but it is also the place where we
we started thinking about our future
we started thinking what we want
achieve when we are big or like
we want to change the world
but we can not do it if it’s
also in this time of our life
there are much more the roles of
genders
I do not believe in the schools of only
women or only men and although in
several studies show that
students of the best performance in
these scholastic fields I think that
Finally, society works with us
only gender society works with the
genres working together to achieve a
better tomorrow
but it seems to me that based on several
several investigations we can
in the scientific areas separate men
and women since it shows that
begins when they are separated no longer
there is so much competition among
genres if there is no competition between
the same gender and help so that all
the students within the class give better
performance but there is also the
fellowship
but not only is it the duty of
institutions
It is our duty as future
generations as the generations that
they will be in charge of all
ministries that are going to be on how
teachers of the classrooms as lawyers
we have a duty to also
change and change at this time
how are we going to do it?
we started when we entered the
secondary to using many many phrases
phrases that we say because that’s how we’ve
grown up is a phrase that all the
we know
but we should stop using them
a great example is ladybug
a man may like ballet to
a man may like the color
pink
and a man may like the
romantic movies more than
action movies
but he has no right to be called
Ladybug on the part of our
knowing that that could change his life
in the future knowing that that’s going to
determine what you will achieve in your
future
and it’s not just towards men
one of the most used phrases created
towards women since the
secondary is that is in the month
i
I tell you there are several studies that
they say that
it’s much more predictable
how a woman is going to act or how she is going
to feel emotionally depending on
day of the week the month of the year and up
the time of day
it is not their fault that they use these phrases
but they have the power in their hands of
stop using them
we must begin to understand that
it’s a matter of lack of communication
we should start talking
to say and just make sure that
we all know how a person feels
and how can we make him not
we are limiting in your future
then my dear generation I ask you
when they are with a group of people
are about to say that phrase this
phrase that you know
that should not be used think twice
times
just think about how that little phrase goes
to change that person’s life and not what
tell
just try to make sure that in this
moment when we have the
power in our hands to change the
life of future generations for
that they do not have to go through what
we are going through make sure
who are taking who are taking this
opportunity
so
I only ask
is to think and ask and communicate
