Empower the Next Generation to Be More Equitable

Studies show bias has a long-term impact and is difficult to change in adulthood. While we should continue to invest in reducing it, we can have a greater impact by intervening in childhood before bias has a chance to set in. The way we collectively raise children, along with the role models we show them, will make a difference in the future they create, and most importantly, in the values they hold as they take their place in society. Role modeling from childhood could be an effective way to cultivate more egalitarian attitudes that last a lifetime.
