The Global Fund for Children

    As stated in the previous post The Global Fund for Children is a non-profit organization that helps children all over the world in many different ways, which includes providing them with the education they need, and fighting for the rights of the children. One particular article that discusses one of the things that The Global Fund for Children (GCF)  has done that caught my attention was about gender equality. The article is named It's All About Changing Attitudes! Measuring Gender Equity in Creative Ways, and in it Rodrigo Barraza García he another member of the GCF program, Vanessa Stevens, conducted a series of trainings with GCF partners in Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. These trainings talked about the "importance of gender mainstreaming and self care" (2019). García goes over five different helpful points in trying to get gender equity started, these points are, Working with and Listening to the Community, Focusing on Impacts and Attitudes, Gathering Stories, Creating and Promoting Networks, and most importantly, Being Creative. These five points allow others to really become part of the communities that they are working with and help with getting to really understand the needs of the communities.
