Welcome to UNICEF Gender Equality Core Commitments for Children in Humanitarian Action playlist with Interactive Game! This playlist has been specifically designed to help you develop your understanding of the three commitments on gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls and how gender is mainstreamed across various sector CCCs commitments.

With this playlist you will be able to integrate gender into the UNICEF humanitarian programming and advocacy that you support in order to ensure more effective, inclusive and quality programming, that reaches the full diversity of girls and boys, including the least likely to access services and face the greatest risks. 

This playlist includes a two-player game that will test your practical skills through different activities and enhance your social learning experience. As an early adopter, you will be one of the first learners to play the game. The game must be played with another person (e.g. colleague, friend, peer). It is therefore important to invite another person/team member at this stage to go on this learning journey with you. 

Please use any of these short sample invitation emails to invite a colleague/peer/friend. You will find further instructions on how to play the game once you and the colleague have joined this activity.
