Student addresses Gender Bias in Modern Society

Jade spoke about the Gender Bias in Modern Society, and how it is affecting young children and perpetuating the issue further.

As part of the Australian Government Department of Education and Training Innovation Month, Jade Esler, Merici Year 11 student, addressed Government staff on Tuesday 31 July. The Innovation program includes a number of  interactive workshops and presentations and Jade was invited to speak after she presented a pitch at the TEDx Canberra Open Mic Night. Jade spoke about the Gender Bias in Modern Society, and how it is affecting young children and perpetuating the issue further; how current gender stereotypes can make future equality difficult to obtain. We are very proud of Jade and her continued successes and contribution to our community.
