English term

where girls can shatter stereotypes...

English to Spanish Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. Sociology
would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about sociology. Is okay to translate it as donde muchachas pueden hacer pedazos los estereotipos?

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

And yet, girls’ schools continue to be places where girls can shatter stereotypes and develop the confidence to demand and help create a different narrative.

NCGS will continue convening Global Forums on Girls’ Education to bring together thought-leaders who will help determine how to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls” around the world.

@José Patricio Nadie ha mencionado "estereotipado". Estereotipo o bien viene del inglés o del latino y se usa tanto "stereotype" en inglés como "estereotipo" en español, pero nunca he visto "estereotipado" José!!
José Patrício Jun 19, 2022:
Qué es estereotipado?
Tu con Certeza lo sabes ‘Que non es original y se limita a seguir modelos conoidos (ex.: futbol estereotipado)
Tu idea es buena solo tienes de escoger una palaba para eso
Yo diría “alterar, remodelar”:
‘donde muchachas pueden alterar los estereotipos’
La idea es la misma, solo que partir los estereotipos me parece muy fuerte!...
Un saludo

donde las chicas están capaces de desvirtuar los estereotipos

I tend to use niñas and muchachas for my own acquaintances.

Otherwise, I wonder about suffixing 'romper' with 'con'.

The asker - as a native Spanish speaker - ought to be astute to the subtle nuances.
Example sentence:

Dentro de las decisiones que desvirtúan estereotipos, se refirió a un fallo que revoca una ley que prohibía que las mujeres asistieran a un instituto militar masculino..

debemos romper con todos los estereotipos que surgen de esta manera

Note from asker:
Thanks Adrian.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Beatriz Ramírez de Haro : "son capaces de" o "están capacitadas para". In fact, "desvirtuar" is much milder than "shatter". OTOH mixing up "ser" and "estar" is a serious grammatical error.

a trivial criticism omitting any reference to desvirtuar.
disagree Juan Jacob : El eterno problema de "ser" y "estar".
