SUTEP
The Peruvian Education Workers’ Union – SUTEP is a national organization dedicated to defending education workers’ rights, to increase awareness of issues of national interest, and increase citizen participation in decision-making spaces, accountability and oversight.
A partner since 1985, SUTEP and the Women’s Secretariat develop women’s leadership training in different macro regions across the country and participates in national and international campaigns for the eradication of violence against girls and women. It has been successful in creating local and regional committees, establishing an internal gender equity policy and increasing the number of women in decision-making spaces such as the National Executive Committee.
Currently SUTEP implements actions to defend the gender equity approach in public schools, and create alliances to defend this approach in the National Curriculum. National Encounters of women teachers serve to exchange experiences, increase teachers’ self-esteem and analyze national issues from a gender-sensitive perspective.
