The Gender and Education Association is a small, volunteer-led international intersectional feminist charity.
Since 1997, our community of educators, researchers, activists, leaders, artists, and more have been working to challenge and eradicate gender stereotyping, sexism, and gender inequality within and through education.
Our work is only possible because of you, our members. Please consider joining or renewing your membership today!
