The Gender Equity Movement in Schools (GEMS) programme was initiated in India to promote gender equality and reduce violence by engaging students in critical thinking and self-reflection. The programme fosters more gender equitable attitudes and behaviours among youth using participatory methodologies that engage students in relevant interactions and reflection about key issues of gender and violence. This training manual for facilitators is based on the experiences of conducting group education activities with students. It is organized in seven modules, each corresponding to a specific theme.
