Children’s books are often a child’s first encounter with the rules of the world. Watch how UN Women is rewriting the narrative for the next generation! 📚✨ At the 2026 Bologna Children’s Book Fair, our ‘EU 4 Gender Equality’ programme brought together authors, illustrators, and publishers to challenge gender stereotypes and champion inclusive storytelling. 🎥 Video Highlights: 🎨 Drawing Equality: Rethinking how we illustrate heroes and villains. 📖 Stories That Change Us: Building a gender-equal publishing ecosystem. 🦸‍♀️ Who Gets to Be the Hero?: Redefining courage with authors from the region. Our goal is simple: to ensure that every girl and boy has the chance to navigate their own path, face challenges with confidence, and shape their own future. 🔗 Learn more about the EU 4 Gender Equality programme: https://eca.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/ending-violence-against-women/eu-4-gender-equality 🔗 Follow UN Women Europe and Central Asia: https://www.instagram.com/unwomeneca/ https://www.facebook.com/unwomeneuropecentralasia https://www.linkedin.com/company/un-women-europe-and-central-asia
