An Update on What We’re doing!

YOUTH FOR EQUALITY
Achieving gender equality is our campaign’s main goal. We would like to create equal opportunities for all human beings and by doing this, Youth for Equality has started to spread awareness. As movember starts to come to an end, we realized that we needed to create more ways to spread awareness. We have made a twitter account with the twitter handle @femnpss and have kept consistent with tweets related to our goal so that we can spread awareness of the harsh realities of gender inequality as well as gain knowledge on how to conquer our goal. Youth for Equality has also created unique brochures about gender equality world-wide as well as gender equality in the workplace. We have taken these brochures and ran our first information booth at lunch on November 24th. Staff and students actually approached our booth and we asked quick quiz questions. The point of these questions are to raise shocking facts about our topic of equality and we were able to educate others! Also, anyone who approached the booth took one of our brochures to take away with them. In conclusion, our booth ran successfully and using our twitter, we were able to promote it. 
Future plans: Youth For Equality plans to run our booth every Thursday at lunch in our Cafe but we are working to create a spinning “Question Wheel” structure (like the one to the right->) that students can spin. The wheel will land on a question and if the student or staff member answers the question correctly, we will have prizes handy for the winner!
Below is an example of one of our quiz questions.
What percent of women hold CEO positions in fortune 500 companies?
- 10%
- 7.3%
- 4.8%
