Our Gender Revolution Writing Award Recipients


What would the world be like if we were all truly equal to each other? Do you think that boys and men are more valued than women and girls? What happens when boys and men are seen as more powerful than girls and women?

Our Gender Revolution believes in a world where everyone can thrive and fulfill their real potential. We want to create communities where everyone has equal value and we all share power, no matter our gender, race, class, ability, and more.

Idaho middle school/junior high and high school students were invited to enter the Our Gender Revolution (formerly the Love What’s Real) Writing Challenge and the following are the award recipients:
