Equality Socks
Description: On October 9th, 2012, 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai rode the bus home after taking an exam in Swat Valley, Pakistan. She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman due to her effort in promoting access to education, especially for girls and women. Malala is one of Bonsters’ most respected heros standing up for freedom and equality. Sure, Bonsters have done such things as skipping school once in a while, however, we wouldn’t be here if we’re illiterate or don’t know how to use a computer! We hope one day children and adults around the world will have access to education they desire.
Description: Part of what keeps a certain system in place is the way of thinking that goes along with it. Patriarchal rule has given rise to many stereotypes about what women, and men, can and can't do, like or be interested in. These stereotypes make 'the way things are' seem justified. But painting any group with one brush is never a good thing, so let's try an make people aware of what is fact and what is just a stereotype. Let's have girls that like to use tools and boys who like to decorate with hearts.
