London, March 8, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Director Leslee Udwin whose documentary India’s Daughter so successfully sparked a movement for gender equality, has founded a non-profit organization called Think Equal.

Think Equal is currently developing an education program designed to educate children from the earliest stages in the crucial values of basic human rights as the foundation of later behavior. This program is unique in that it’s goal is to become a mandatory part of early childhood education - worldwide.

Research shows that it’s during early childhood that social concepts, behavior and attitudes are formed and set. It is during this time that educators have the opportunity to shape children’s perceptions of the world around them - and the people in it.

Leslee has recruited numerous Hollywood A list celebrities and notable educational experts to this cause including Meryl Streep , Sir Ken Robinson , Sean Penn, President Joyce Banda, Susan Sarandon, Dr. Urvashi Sahni, - to name a handful. Her long term vision is to help eradicate discrimination, be it racial, gender-based, or religious, and ultimately to transform society by changing cultures through appropriate holistic education.

Think Equal is conducting a crowdfunding campaign on Generosity.com and inviting those who wish to become involved to lend a hand. Think Equal will have its official launch by the autumn of 2016.
