3. Gender
refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, expressions and identities of girls,
women, boys, men, and gender diverse people. It influences how people perceive
themselves and each other, how they act and interact, and the distribution of power
and resources in society. Gender identity is not confined to a binary (girl/woman,
boy/man) nor is it static; it exists along a continuum and can change over time. There
is considerable diversity in how individuals and groups understand, experience and
express gender through the roles they take on, the expectations placed on them,
relations with others and the complex ways that gender is institutionalized in society.
4. Gender and Socialization

school, peers, neighbors, society.

are defined vis a vis female roles.
• Gender relations interact with other social
divisions like class, ethnicity, religion, age.

language but for other domains as well, such as
