The Expanding IMPACT project is implemented by Save the Children International in Thailand with funding from The Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The project aims to ensure migrant children’s right to protection and development is strengthened through effective support of government and communities. This will be achieved by making sure migrant children have access to improved care, protection, and education.

The REACT project aims to ensure migrant children in Thailand have access to quality basic education and communities support children’s learning. The main target groups are the migrant children in Mae Sot district, Tak province and Ranong province.

About this BookThrough the Expanding IMPACT and REACT projects, we hoped to further explore and challenge normative values around gender and promote gender equality through children’s books for migrant children aged 3 to 6 years old. The project team and Help Without Frontiers (HWF) invited Ray of Youths, a group of 19 (7 male, 12 female) local migrant youth from Myanmar aged between 15 and 19 to discuss gender norms in migrant communities and how to positively transform them. The youth have developed four gender transformative books, which challenge gender norms, and gender discrimination in migrant communities. A gender transformative children’s book is one that attempts to re-define and challenge gender roles and relations of women and men, boys and girls, including harmful stereotypes. Transforming unequal gender relations to promote shared power, control of resources, decision making, and support for women’s empowerment. Books can either reinforce existing traditions and social norms, or they can provide an alternative view of the world and broaden thinking.
