Welcome to the resource hub
Here, you’ll find a wide range of tools to help break down gender stereotypes and promote gender equality. Our resources are thoughtfully created to support educators, parents, and caregivers in building spaces where every child can thrive, no matter their gender.
Explore our collection of activities, book recommendations, posters, and more—each designed to encourage inclusivity, respect, and equal opportunities for all children.
Fact Sheets
We’ve created a growing collection of fact sheets to help you challenge gender stereotypes and promote inclusion in everyday life.
Explore the list below for practical tips on topics like choosing inclusive images, responding to ‘boyfriend/girlfriend’ comments, navigating the holiday season, or supporting gender equality in your health practice. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or health professional, there’s something here for you.
These fact sheets are designed to be used at home, in early years services, or in classrooms. Print them out, share them with others, and help spread the message of equality and respect!
Posters
Our posters are designed to inspire and promote inclusion, individuality, and respect in everyday spaces.
From breaking down gender stereotypes to celebrating diversity, our posters are perfect for classrooms, early years services, or even your home. They’re eye-catching, engaging, and spark conversations that encourage children to be themselves and explore the world around them.
Print them out, display them proudly, and share the message of equality and respect with your community!
POSTERS
-
Yarra Ranges, Inspiro, and Level Playground developed these posters with the Yarra Ranges Gender Equity in the Early Years Working Group to promote gender equity and challenge stereotypes. Featuring real people in diverse careers and activities, they encourage young children and their families to pursue any path, regardless of gender.
-
The Men as Caregivers poster series was developed in partnership with Yarra Ranges Council and Inspiro to highlight the important roles that fathers and male caregivers play in the lives of the children they care for. The posters aim to challenge rigid gender stereotypes around gender roles and masculinity, and celebrate fathers and men in care giving roles. Featuring real people, they promote the message that caring for children is everyone’s responsibility. Resources include posters, social media tiles and an implementation guide
Books
Reading aloud to children in their early years builds essential skills like language development, concentration, imagination, and empathy.
By choosing books that celebrate gender equality, individuality, diversity, and respectful relationships, you’re laying a strong foundation for literacy and inclusion.
