Inspiration came from
We got the inspiratin from looking at UNESCO Sustainable Developement Goals and we wanted to explore gender equality and how primary students can contribute as global citizen. Through discussions with the students and showing different videos of gender inequality practice in different parts of the world, they began to see different level of inequality towards women in their daily lifes. Through guided discussion, our group began to explore the roles of women and the preconception of woman as the primary care-taker of baby. Next, our conversation lead us to toilet signage design and why some nursing room are located in women's toilet instead of a stand-alone one. We wanted to change this stigma of woman as the 'diaper-changer' of the family and that nursing room should be retrofitted in most of the shopping malls in Hong Kong.
What social problems do you solve?
Our goal is to create an Instagram page, "IG" account that provides nursing room information in all the malls in Hong Kong. Next, we will sent letters to malls who don't have a stand-alone nursing room and asking them to rethink their apporach and possibly retrofit one in the future.
How do we start from 0 to 1
(Let everyone know how you have this idea and how to practice it.) Students will collect nursing room information of all the malls in Hong Kong by online research, calling the management company and site visits to collect data and to take photos. Our secondary goal is to sent letters to these malls to request their support to rebuild their toilet and to build a stand-alone nursing room.
The challenge we encountered
(Sharing your story can make it easier for others to understand what you are doing, and let them feel the enthusiasm of you or your team for this project.) The challenging we are facing is finding backers that will help us build this app, collecting all the nursery room information in Hong Kong, particularly smaller malls which might not nursery information listed on their website.
The resources we needed
We need experts to help us create the app from start to finish. We are aware that collecting nursing room information from all the malls in Hong Kong will take some times as students aren't familiar with researching information online.
who are we
