Gender Action (GA), is a programme supported by Mission 44 and DECSY that empowers schools and educators to tackle gender inequality. At GA we offer free 1:1 training to educators to challenge sexism and stereotyping, in particular the underrepresentation of girls in STEM subjects. We support educators to create an action plan and set goals, enabling them to work their way up from GA ‘Supporter’ to ‘Beacon’ school, meaning they have made meaningful change to combat sexism.

We are an organisation run by educators with a wealth of experience from early years to further education. We take an intersectional and feminist approach to our work to ensure an inclusive and safe space for all those involved in the programme. We base our work on research evidence and as a team conduct our own research on social justice and have authored books on gender equality in education.
