Gender equality is a worldwide actual issue touching upon every one of us. Without gender equality, we cannot reach a sustainable world. Information technology seems to be a domain and professional area where men have traditionally dominated, without any good reason. There is a worldwide call for more women to become IS professionals. In this article, we review what kind of open-access material to educate about gender equality in Information System domain and professions can be found. Together 6 (n=6) material sets were found, mainly targeted for adolescents. Public bodies such as UN or UNESCO provide open source materials, though activity of some private parties can also be found.
