Simone Veil, a champion of the struggle for women's rights and the construction of Europe, died on this day in 2017 aged 89.

Former French Minister, Veil was a witness to the 20th century and the tragedy of the Holocaust. She tirelessly promoted historic knowledge as a bulwark against the persistent daemons of racism and anti-Semitism. A woman of strong convictions, she served as minister in several French governments initiating major advances for the rights of women, for which we are indebted. Veil grew to become a universal figure and model for millions of men and women around the world. Her immense legacy shall never be forgotten.

What does taking a Whole-School Approach mean? 🤨

When schools take a whole-school approach, this means they are taking action to promote s*x equality and prevent gender discrimination, guided by an over-arching framework, and involving all members of the school community - with parents and teachers together! 👏

It should include systemic changes such as a whole-school anti-gender discrimination policy, equipping teachers with the tools they need to prevent and challenge discrimination (that's where we come in ✨), and of course, supporting students by making them aware of your school's policy and how to report gender discrimination.

Free Project Erasmus+ added a button to help you learn more about them.

Free Project Erasmus+ updated their website address.

Erasmus+ funded “FREE” programme is pleased to launch its new website. Our web platform will deliver the results of the pan-European initiative aiming to address the issue of gender-based discrimination in schools that can be potentially a breeding ground for violence, and lead to a series of harmful effects for girls taking their first steps in life.

IARS Director, Dr. Claire Bonham said “the FREE project offers an innovative approach in bringing both parents and teachers together in collaboration to eradicate gender discrimination and violence in the school environment. At a time where the world is considering the structural effects of discrimination in its various forms, the scope of this project in exploring this in a number of European countries will be an important addition to the debate.”
