Welcome to the Peers for Equality platform, a place where you can find a comprehensive collection of resources aimed at supporting youth to learn more about and promote gender equality.
Our main aim is to develop the capacity of peer education for reducing gender-based discrimination. To achieve this, we have developed a modern peer education program by exchanging, adapting and creating non-formal methods and tools which can be used in youth work.

More information about the project
The Peers for Equality platform has the following objectives:
develop critical thinking with respect to traditions and stereotypes that contradict human rights, taking into consideration cultural aspects;
empower the participants to face the existing social pressure that fosters this form of discrimination;
make the participants aware of not only the negative implications of gender-based violence but also of the ones of other forms of gender discrimination;
help them become, in general, more tolerant and more open to diversity.
Given the experience of the partners in implementing anti-biased education peer training programmes and the need for such tools and methods, we have decided to cooperate in order to exchange and create new non-formal methods and tools that can be used for changing the mentality of people with respect to gender based discrimination. We aim to modernise and improve the quality of peer education programmes and develop our two networks’ capacities of tackling gender inequality at society level.
