 GENDER SENSITIZATION:

Gender sensitization involves raising awareness about

gender issues, challenging stereotypes, and promoting
attitudes and behaviors that support gender equality.
It aims to create a more inclusive and respectful
society where individuals are treated based on their
abilities and not their gender.
Gender sensitization programs often focus on
addressing unconscious biases, promoting empathy, and
fostering understanding of the experiences and
challenges faced by people of different genders.
These programs are implemented in various settings,
including schools, workplaces, communities, and the
media, to promote gender-sensitive attitudes and
behaviors.

 WOMEN'S EQUALITY
Women's equality refers to the equal rights, opportunities, and treatment of
women in all spheres of life, including social, economic, political, and cultural
domains. Achieving women's equality entails addressing systemic barriers,
discriminatory practices, and gender-based violence that prevent women from
fully participating and thriving in society.
Key aspects of women's equality include:
•Equal Rights: Ensuring that women have the same legal rights and protections
as men, including rights related to education, employment, property ownership,
and participation in decision-making processes.
•Equal Opportunities: Providing women with equal access to education,
healthcare, employment, and leadership positions, without discrimination based
on gender.
•Equal Pay: Closing the gender pay gap and ensuring that women receive equal
pay for equal work, addressing disparities in wages and compensation between
men and women.
•Ending Gender-Based Violence: Combating gender-based violence, including
domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and harmful practices such as
child marriage and female genital mutilation.
•Empowerment: Promoting women's empowerment through education, economic
independence, access to resources, and opportunities for leadership and
decision-making.
