A day without us at ISQ

In recent weeks our country has been deeply hurt by situations of violence against women and girls. From our deepest sense of empathy, these events cause us great pain and indignation.

For ISQ, the claim for the safety and equality of our women and girls is a priority, our platform as an educational institution not only allows us, but demands us, to respond to the call for the sake of reflection and the construction of a society in the Let us all fit, without fear or fear.

As an educational institution, our main objective is being transformed and must respond to influence the reconstruction of the social fabric and the superior good of childhood, from this thought, we firmly believe that the education of our children and adolescents is the ideal means for objectives of peace, freedom and justice are met in our society.

Being congruent and faithful to our values, which are also aligned with the legitimate requests and objectives of this call to the national movement # UnDíaSinNosotras, we want that day to accompany our students to attend, from reflection, analysis and criticism, which we will do for through various activities that impact on the generation of ideas, proposals and commitments to emphasize empathy, respect, justice but above all the equity and eradication of gender violence, creating safe spaces for our girls and women.

This day of analysis has to go hand in hand with reflection from the family environment on the models of coexistence that our children and adolescents learn, because the commitment to a safe, equitable, peaceful and just society is a struggle of all, it is That is why we leave some breeding guidelines that can contribute a lot to this battle:

• From home it is important not to stereotype, be aware of your language since it also builds, take care of expressions that reflect gender stereotypes, such as “children do not wear pink”, “weak sex”, “football is not for girls”, “ballet is not for boys ”, etc. Talk to all the members of your family to join it.

• Exalts respect for every living being. With the little ones you can start by teaching them the value of love towards animals and nature in general, so that they can also do it with other people, explain to your children that this world is for everyone regardless of appearance, beliefs, ideology, nationality, religion, etc.

• In the same way, dialogue with your children about their right not to be hurt, without forgetting to teach them that he or she should not hurt others and if you do, do not forget to help him recognize his mistake, apologize and, above all, to repair the damage.

• Let your children be women or men, express their emotions and support them to manage them properly, without violence and without harming others.

• Help your children to listen to the “No” of others and respect them, because only then will he be respected within the limits he expresses.

• Talk with your children about teasing other classmates and invite them not to be part of it, exalt empathy and love for others.

• Build in your children the culture of denunciation, strengthen them so they do not remain silent in the face of the injustices they testify and ask for help when they need it.

● At home assign your children both men and women, responsibilities equally.

● Take care of what they see and share on the internet, accompany them and talk with them about it.

● And especially as a family exalts as a maxim, the value of tolerance, respect and peace, remember that children learn more from what they see than from what they are told.

This March 9th ISQ will take the appropriate measures so that the attention to our students who attend have these activities of reflection, because our commitment as an institution of basic education, is also with children in training, on the other hand we encourage you to participate and show Your support, wearing a purple or white garment but above all, keeping an open and receptive mind to change, for a better society, at ISQ we reaffirm our commitment to accompany you in the process from our education space, working together to find new ways to travel life in a safe and harmonious way.
