1. Why is this project called P.I.N.K. Backpack?
2. What kind of resources does P.I.N.K. Backpack offer?
3. How is 'Growing Into Equality' unique?
5. Any future plans?
- Backpacks are a metaphor for a typical elementary- and middle -school accessory that can be filled with gender-equality guidance.
2. What kind of resources does P.I.N.K. Backpack offer?
- To fill "backpacks" with gender-equality guidance, P.I.N.K. Backpack currently offers a guidebook ('Growing Into Equality' ) full of step-by-step suggestions for parents and caregivers who want to help create a fair future for the girls.
3. How is 'Growing Into Equality' unique?
- Unlike random Internet articles, the 'Growing Into Equality' guidebook is written for parents and caregivers to address specific gender-equality issues like understanding consent, responding to gender bias, creating a gender-equal household, and the importance of role models.
- 'Growing Into Equality' guidebook content is written for parents of elementary- and middle-school daughters, ages 6-12. However, there is a wide spectrum of maturity level at every age and parents know best what is and isn't appropriate for their own children.
5. Any future plans?
- P.I.N.K. Backpack's most important future goal is to create a guidebook with suggestions for raising gender-equality enlightened boys. Additionally, to complement 'Growing Into Equality,' we want to offer more guidebooks that are focused on specific areas where girls can thrive: STEM, sports, etc.
