Gender sensitization # Let us bridge the gap # Together we can!sdshelly02
The presentation aims at acknowledging, recognising and minimising the gender bias prevalent in our society. The objective is:
Let us lend it a voice.
Let us spread the word.
Let us renovate our culture.
Let us transform our mind-sets.
Let us reframe our society.
Let us make our world a happier place....
This presentation helps to know about gender equality at individual level and in corporates. It also enables to deal with these situations and how to handle them.
Gender Sensitization is the need of an hour In third world countries, especially in India as the social evil of gender discrimination is very prevalent here along with gender-based stereotypical thinking.
Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation is part of Oxfam GB's Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.

Presentation by Jemimah Njuki at the FAO-ILRI Workshop on Integrating Gender in Livestock Projects and Programs, ILRI, Addis Ababa, 22-25 November 2011.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

28. • Gender roles stereotyping and consequent subordination
of women to men is a deterrent to development.
• Gender issues and concerns are often overlooked in
development process .
• It is important for a development practitioners to determine
practical and strategic needs borne out of a gender analysis so
that appropriate interventions will impact and benefit women
and men.
• The GAD approach seeks not only to integrate women into
development, but to look for the potential in development
initiatives to… TRANSFORM UNEQUAL GENDER RELATIONS
and EMPOWER WOMEN.
29. Why GAD?
GAD is about being faithful to the principle that:
Development is for all!!!
Fairness and Equity demands that
everyone in society, whether male or female
has the right to the same opportunities to
achieve a full and satisfying life
30. Further...
•GAD is about recognizing that gender
biases impede development because:
- they prevent people from attaining their full
potentials (which will enable them to become
effective contributors to development).
31. WHAT IS GAD, then?
• GAD is a major advance in development theory and
practice.
• It has grown out of attempts to understand both the
ongoing inequality between women and men and the
failure of countless development and women’s
projects.
• GAD is about recognizing that gender biases impede
development.
32. AND DELIBERATELY ADDRESSES THEM…
In the process of developing,
budgeting, implementing,
monitoring and evaluating
programs, projects and services,
particularly in government
agencies.
33. GAD is a development perspective that
recognizes the different roles, interests and
needs of women and men.
It reflects a change in focus from women and
their exclusion from development initiatives
to the REATIONS OF INEQUALITY BETWEEN
WOMEN AND MEN
34. WHY US?
Gender issues affect all of us. But instead
of solving them, we all contribute to their
perpetuation.
Everyone who believes in the vision of
attaining a full and satisfying life for all
has an obligation to help pursue GAD.
35. WHY US?
We are mandated by international treaties/
commitments, laws and policies.
We are custodians of people’s trust and
resources.. We have the power, knowledge,
skills and resources to make development
work for everybody.
