LIFTING LIMITS

Lifting Limits challenges gender stereotyping and promotes gender equality, in and through education. We do this by working with schools and educators to provide the training and resources they need to make visible, for challenge and discussion, gender stereotyping which may exist in the school environment and to equip their pupils to challenge gender stereotyping wherever they may encounter it.
