5. The Concept of Gender and
Sensitivity
01

6. Gender vs. Sex
Gender is a social and cultural construct that refers to the
roles, behaviors, and attributes that societies consider
appropriate for men and women.
Sex refers to the biological differences between males and
females. Gender identity refers to an individual's sense of
being male, female, or something else, and it may or may
not match their biological sex.
Quiachon

7. Sensitivity and respect for gender and identity are
crucial in today's society. It is important to
understand the complexities of gender and identity,
as well as how they intersect with other social
identities like race, class, and sexuality. This report
aims to explore the issues related to gender and
sensitivity, including gender stereotypes,
intersectionality, and ways to promote inclusivity
and diversity.
Quiachon

8. Intersectionality
This refers to how different social identities intersect
and influence each other. Gender intersects with
other identities, such as race, class, and sexuality, and
this can create unique experiences of discrimination
and privilege. For example, women of color often face
both gender and racial discrimination, making it more
challenging for them to succeed in the workplace or
access healthcare.
Orale

9. Intersectionality
It is essential to acknowledge and address these
intersections to promote inclusivity and diversity.
Organizations should adopt policies and practices
that take into account the unique experiences of
people with different identities. They should also
create opportunities for diverse voices to be heard
and respected.
Orale

10. Sensitivity & Respect
Sensitivity and respect are crucial when
interacting with people of different genders
and identities. This includes using appropriate
language and pronouns, recognizing the
diversity of experiences and identities, and
being an ally to marginalized communities.
Orale

11. To be an ally, it is essential to listen to and
learn from people with different identities
and experiences. We should support
policies and practices that promote
inclusivity and diversity and challenge
discrimination and inequality when we
encounter it.
Orale

12. Gender Equality
02

13. Gender Equality
Gender Equality is not only a fundamental
human right, but a necessary foundation for a
peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
There has been progress over the last decades,
but unfortunately, the world is not on track to
achieve gender equality by 2030.
Rivera

14. Gender Equality
Gender Equality was made part of international
human rights law by the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, which was adopted by the UN
General Assembly on 10 December 1948.
Rivera

15. Gender Equality
That milestone document in the history of
human rights recognized that “All human beings
are born free and equal in dignity and rights”
and that “everyone is entitled to all the rights
and freedoms set forth in this Declaration,
without distinction of any kind, such as race,
colour, sex, language, religion, … birth or other
status.”
Rivera

16. Gender Equality
The United Nations is now focusing its global
development work on the recently-developed
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Women have a critical role to play in all of the
SDGs, with many targets specifically
recognizing women’s equality and
empowerment as both the objective, and as
part of the solution.
Rivera

17. Gender Equality
Goal 5, to "Achieve gender equality and empower
all women and girls" is known as the stand-alone
gender goal, because it is dedicated to achieving
these ends. Deep legal and legislative changes are
needed to ensure women’s rights around the world.
While a record 143 countries guaranteed equality
between men and women in their Constitutions by
2014, another 52 had not taken this step.
Rivera

18. Sex Roles &
Gender Roles
03

19. Sex Roles
These are socially coded behaviors and
practices often related to a person's
reproductive capacities, such as women with
the roles of motherhood and men with
fatherhood.
Roxas

20. Gender Roles
These refer to the way a community defines what it is
to be a woman or a man. Each community expects
women and men to look, think, feel, and act in certain
ways, simply because they are women or men.
For example, women are expected to prepare food, gather water and
fuel, and care for their children and partner. Men, however, are often
expected to work outside the home to provide for their families and
parents in old age, and to defend their families from harm.
Roxas

21. What are gender
stereotypes?
04

22. Gender
Stereotypes
These are beliefs and attitudes about gender roles that are
commonly held in a society. These stereotypes can limit
people's potential, create discrimination, and perpetuate
gender inequality.
For example, women are often stereotyped as emotional
and weak, while men are stereotyped as strong and
aggressive.
Villa

23. Gender
Stereotypes
It is essential to challenge these stereotypes
and promote gender equality. People should not
be judged or treated differently based on their
gender. Instead, we should create an
environment that respects and values
everyone's contributions and recognizes the
diversity of experiences that come with
different identities.
Villa

24. Importance of
Gender Sensitivity
05

25. 1. Promotes equality
Gender sensitivity helps promote equal
opportunities and treatment for all individuals,
regardless of their gender. This includes
ensuring that women and girls have access to
education, healthcare, and job opportunities,
among other things.
Pamunag & Sanchez

26. 2. Reduces gender-based violence
Gender sensitivity can help reduce gender-
based violence by creating awareness and
understanding of the root causes of such
violence. It also helps to promote healthy
relationships and respect for each other's
boundaries.
Pamunag & Sanchez

27. 3. Encourages diversity and inclusivity
Gender sensitivity encourages diversity and
inclusivity by recognizing and respecting the
differences in gender identities and
expressions. It allows for a more inclusive and
diverse workplace, community, and society.
Pamunag & Sanchez

28. 4. Fosters better education
Gender sensitivity fosters better
communication and understanding between
individuals of different genders. This can lead
to more effective teamwork, better
relationships, and a more positive work
environment.
Pamunag & Sanchez

29. 5. Improving Mental Health
Gender sensitivity helps to create a more
supportive and accepting environment for
individuals with different gender identities or
expressions. It reduces stigma and
discrimination, which can have a significant
impact on the mental health of individuals who
do not conform to traditional gender roles.
Pamunag & Sanchez

30. 6. Reducing Discrimination
Gender sensitivity promotes respect for all
individuals, regardless of their gender. It reduces
discrimination and stereotypes against individuals
who do not conform to traditional gender roles,
such as women who choose to work in male-
dominated fields, men who take on caregiving roles,
or individuals who identify as non-binary or
genderqueer.
Pamunag & Sanchez

31. Overall, gender sensitivity is essential
for creating a more equitable, just, and
inclusive society. It helps to promote
respect, understanding, and
acceptance of all individuals,
regardless of their gender identity.
Pamunag & Sanchez

32. Gender-Fair
Language
06

33. What can be wrong with
stereotypes & sex-gender systems?
Stereotypes and sex-gender systems limit
the potential of both men and women,
making them both victims. This leads to
gender discrimination and subordination.
Pareñas

34. Gender-Fair Language
Gender fair language (GFL) is terminology that is
used to reduce gender bias in one's mental
representation, or mental comprehension, of a
concept.
Gender-neutral (English singular they) and gender-
inclusive (English he or she) language are examples
of gender-fair language.
Pareñas

35. Gender-Inclusive & Gender-Neutral Languages
Gender-inclusive language is used in gender-
fair language feminization efforts.
Gender-neutral vocabulary is used in gender
neutralization efforts. However, some
languages are genderless, making such tactics
obsolete.
Pareñas

36. Gender-Fair Language
Given the key role that language plays in
shaping cultural and social attitudes, using
gender-inclusive language is a powerful
way to promote gender equality and
eradicate gender bias.
Pareñas

37. Importance of Gender-Fair Language
1. Language articulates consciousness.
2. Language reflects culture.
3. Language affects socialization.
Sexism in language is considered a stumbling
block to gender sensitivity.
Vaflor

38. Guidelines for use in gender-fair language
● Avoid gender-biased expressions or expressions
that reinforce gender stereotypes.
● There should also be consistency in the way
women and men are referred to: if one of them is
addressed by their name, last name, courtesy
title, or profession, the other one should be as
well.
● Use gender-neutral words.
