As educators, it is our responsibility to present a comprehensive history to future generations and emphasize that the world, as it is today, is a product of the works and achievements of both men and women.

Although more than before, the official curriculum still lacks space for women’s history, stories about pioneering women, and their influence on society.

Therefore, it is essential to proactively include content about women, providing children with role models and examples to identify with while teaching them that women are equal, and have made significant contributions to history.

Education is one of the most important ways to inspire and create a more equal society for us and future generations.
