Entry Description

Women in Peru experience additional learning obstacles as a result of gender-based discrimination and stereotypes perpetuated by their learning environments. Ayni's innovative and gender-responsive design frees young adults from damaging social constructs, becoming the driving force behind achieving a better and equal education for all. It recognizes the forgotten potential of a well-designed school by using it as a strategic tool to improve the schooling experience of girls and all students in developing countries like Peru, celebrating individuality, diversity, and culture.
