Promoting Gender Equality through the Visibility of Women: The Empowering Women Project

Abstract

[eng] The present dissertation aims at promoting gender equality through the empowerment of women’s role in society by offering an educational proposal for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) in a secondary school. After an analysis of the past and present situation of the discrimination women have to face in their lives, the educational proposal consists of a project in which a selection of 24 English-speaking women are brought to light. Considering gender equality as a transversal topic, different subjects are involved in this project to highlight their relevance: EFL, Catalan, Spanish, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), History and Art.
