This document discusses gender sensitivity training and concepts of sex and gender. It defines sex as the biological traits that distinguish males and females, while gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors and attributes ascribed to each sex in a given society. The training aims to promote understanding of gender equality and equity by recognizing the different experiences of both women and men and ensuring equal rights, treatment and sharing of opportunities and resources regardless of sex.
Gender and Development focuses on social, economic, political and cultural forces that determine how differently men and women participate in, benefit from, and control the recourses and activities. Also focuses on the socially determined relations between men and women.

There are existing various gender issues/gaps that our Pantawid Children are experiencing which actually affect their compliance to the program's conditionality. These are the issues that should be addressed and provided with appropriate interventions or actions. Thus we are presenting this to our stakeholders, partner agencies in order for them to realize that we must have a collaborative efforts, collective actions to provide the needs of these Pantawid children and provide a better environment for them, mold them into a better person and enhance their capabilities without restrictions because development is for all.
This presentation was formulated to guide the Community Organizers in conducting their Family Development Sessions with their target participants specifically the Indigenous People, Less Fortunate and illiterate parents that they (the participants) could understand in a very simple way and be able to share and apply these information that they have learned in their homes on how to build a good or great parent children relationship.
Making the Business Case for Gender EquityKelly Services
"Making the Business Case for Gender Equity" is talking why we need to unlock the full potential of women in the global economy. This is a business case for improving gender equity.
The concept of gender was first developed by Iill Matthews in 1984 in her study of the construction of femininity.
According to Mathews, the concept of gender gives recognition to the fact that every known society distinguishes between women and men.
Therefore the term / concept of gender is a systematic way of understanding men and women socially and the patterning of relationships between them.
Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person's biological sex.
The concept of gender helps to study the differences in behaviour between men and women and to analyse the basis of these differences as basically biological or as social constructions by the society.
It refers to the social attributes, roles and responsibilities, associated with being male & female and the relationships between women & men (girls & boys).
“the gender question is not just about women but about both women and men and how they interact”
(the gender question, Human Development Report 2000)
Gender is a analytical category that is socially constructed to differentiate the biological difference between men and women. The term gender is also used to describe the differences in behaviour between men and women which are described as „masculine‟ and „feminine‟. Feminist writings focus on this aspect and claim that these differences are not biological but are social constructions of patriarchal society.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER?
By far, sex and gender have been two of the most
socially significant factors in the history of the
world and the United States. Sex is one’s
biological classification as male or female, which is
biologically determined at the moment the sperm
fertilizes the egg. Sex can be precisely defined at
the genetic level with XX being female and XY
being male. The main difference between sexes is
the reproductive body parts assigned to each
(including their functions and corresponding
hormones).
Males and females have much more in common than they have differences. Every major
system of the human body functions in very similar ways to the point that health
guidelines, disease prevention and maintenance, and even organ transplants are very
similar and guided under a large umbrella of shared guidelines. True, there are medical
specialists in treating men and women, but again the similarities outweigh the differences.
Today you probably ate breakfast, took a shower (hopefully), walked in the sunlight,
sweated, slept, used the bathroom, was exposed to germs and pathogens, grew more hair
and finger nails, exerted your muscles to the point that they became stronger, and felt and
managed stress. So did every man and woman you know and in very similar ways.
So, why the big debate of the battle of the sexes? Perhaps it’s because of the impact of
gender, the cultural definition of what it means to be a man or a woman. In other words,
gender is socialized behaviors prescribed for society’s members based on their sex.
Therefore, sex=male, female and gender=masculine, feminine. Gender is culturally-based
and varies in a thousand subtle ways across the many diverse cultures of the world.
Gender has been shaped by political, religious, philosophical, linguistic, traditional, and
other cultural forces for many years. To this day, in most countries of the world women
and girls are still oppressed and denied access to opportunities more often than men and
boys. This can be seen through many diverse historical documents. When reading these
documents, the most common theme of how women were historically oppressed in the
world’s societies is the omission of women as being legally, biologically, economically, and

even spiritually on par with men. The second most common theme is the assumption that
women were somehow broken versions of men or lesser beings than men.1

How Culture Constructs Gender DifferenceBiological models PazSilviapm
How Culture Constructs Gender Difference
Biological models assume that biological sex determines gender,
That biological differences lead to behavior differences, which lead to social arrangements.
By this account, social inequalities are encoded into our physiological composition.
That biological anomalies alone account for variation.
Biological researchers always assumed that gender difference implied gender inequality because western notions of difference do usually lead to and justify inequality.
However, some anthropologists argue that biological models projected their western values onto other cultures.
That these models ignore the role of colonialism and the roles of women in establishing gender differences in traditional cultures.
Anthropological evidence offers a world of amazing diversity of the cultural constructions of gender.
Yet some themes remain constant:
Virtually all societies manifest some amount of difference between men and women.
Virtually all cultures exhibit some form of male domination, despite variations in gender definitions.
Variations in Gender Definitions
Anthropologists have found far more variability in the definitions of masculinity and femininity than any biologist would have predicted.
Men possessed of similar levels of testosterone, with similar brain structure and lateralization, seem to exhibit dramatically different levels of aggression, violence, and, especially, violence toward women.
Women with similar brains, hormones, and evolutionary imperatives have widely different experiences of passivity, PMS, and spatial coordination.
Margaret Meade’s Work
Meade examined three very different cultures in New Guinea.
In the Arapesh culture, all members were passive, gentle, and emotionally warm.
Males and females were equally happy, trustful, and confident.
Men and women shared child rearing, both were “maternal” and both discouraged aggression in boys and girls.
Both men and women were thought to be relatively equally sexual.
In the Mundugamor culture (a tribe of head hunters and cannibals), citizens viewed men and women as similar but expected persons of both sexes to be violent and aggressive.
Women showed little “maternal instinct,” detested pregnancy and nursing and could hardly wait to return to the serious business of work.
There was violent rivalry between fathers and sons.
All people feared that they were being wronged by others.
In the Tchambuli culture (as in the US) men and women were seen as very different.
It was a patrilineal culture and polygyny was accepted.
One sex was comprised primarily of nurturing and gossipy consumers who spent their days dressing up and going shopping.
These were the men
The women were dominant, energetic, economic providers.
They fished (activity on which the entire culture depended).
They had real positions of power in the society.
Completely unadorned, they were business- like, controlled all commerce and diplomacy of the culture, and were the initiators of ...

ABSTRACT: Gender issue dominates the 21st century discourse both in the developed world and in the developing countries. It is a top priority of United Nation policy and World Bank commitment to invest on any programmes that guarantee full participation of women. Gender inequality or discrimination has been blamed on the steady increase on poverty, unemployment and other related issues. It is by no means a Western concept aimed at liberating women from perceived discrimination. Gender equality is perceived as a meaningful guarantor of development. However, academic query on this important issue left some gap to be filled on the irony of gender equality. What does the concept stand for, where is it coming from, what is the motive of gender equality, does it really guarantee women freedom without subjecting them to forms of exploitation and dehumanization? This piece is critical in answering these questions and in accessing the economic development agenda behind the campaign on gender equality. In order to achieve this, Marxist position is utilized, while upholding Structural functionalist theory to maintain the status quo and with certain modification and improvement on the condition of women. However, the study indicted capitalist economic system as the major causes of gender inequality.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

30. GENDER EQUALITY
Equality refers to similarity of
treatment as it is legally,
constitutionally and divinely given.
It is a fundamental right.
31. The legal concept of gender equality is
enshrined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of
Human Rights as well as United Nations
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which
was adopted in 1979 and is also known as the
convention on women’s rights. CEDAW, which
has been ratified by 100 countries, states
clearly and unequivocally that discrimination
against women violates the principles of
equality of rights and respect for human
dignity.
Equality refers to similarity of treatment as it is
legally, constitutionally and divinely given and is
a fundamental human right.
The governments of the world reaffirmed their
commitment in 1995 to the equal rights and
inherent human dignity of all women and men in

women shall mean DISTINCTION,
EXCLUSION, or RESTRICTION made on the
basis of sex which has the purpose of

irrespective of their marital status, on a
basis of equality of men and women, of
human rights and fundamental freedoms in
the political, economic, social, cultural,
civil or any other field..
UNDERSTANDING GENDER EQUALITY

whereas equality is a fundamental
right.
34. Gender equity is concerned with the
promotion of personal, social, cultural,
political, and economic equality for all.
The term gender equity emerged out of a
growing recognition in society of pervasive
gender inequities.
UNDERSTANDING GENDER EQUITY
In the short-term: greater emphasis in
the gender equity initiatives will be
placed on improving conditions and
attitudes as they affect girls and women.
In the long-term: these initiatives will
also improve the situation for boys and
men.

each time one of them could not take advantage of this
opportunity.
