UNGEI Asia-Pacific 2012 calendar
How does girls’ and boys’ equality in education help us all?
Partners of UNGEI East Asia and the Pacific and UNGEI South Asia created the UNGEI Asia-Pacific Calendar 2012. The aim of the calendar is to raise public awareness on regional issues of gender equality in education, and to paint a picture of the benefits reaped from gender equality in education.
The calendar’s drawings come from the 2011 UNGEI Asia-Pacific Drawing Contest. This annual art competition saw young people from 24 countries across the Asia-Pacific illustrate how gender equality in education benefits everyone. More than 3,000 drawings were received. 24 winning entries from each of the participating countries feature in the calendar: 12 are shown in each month, and 12 others have been turned into postcards!
The winners of the drawing contest are:
- Afghanistan: Hamdullah (17)
- Bangladesh: Bikash (16)
