ABOUT THE project:
Going Gender Free is a multimedia journalism project exploring the growing movement that is gender neutral parenting.
​
Global research done by the Journal of Adolescent Health found that gender specifications placed upon children can create lasting damage into childhood- boys are taught to be strong and independent whereas girls are taught to be vulnerable and nurturing.
​
The seven minute radio documentary is going to tell the story of the parents who are attempting to combat these stereotypes through raising their children gender neutral. I am going to find out who they are, why they've made this choice and about the everyday lifestyle choices they are making for their children?
​
The target broadcaster for the documentary is going to be BBC Radio 4 and I'm going to interview case studies and experts to get a wide range of perspectives about this controversial style of parenting.
