3. Gender Issues
Gender equality must be achieved
personally, institutionally and
programmatically for real change to
occur.

4. Sex and Gender
Sex is the biological status women and
men are born with.
Gender refers to how boys and girls are
socialized differently to become
productive members of their culture.

5. Gender sensitive
Understanding the differences between
mutually respectful gender roles based
on shared power and not using those
roles to have power over another and
restrict his or her personal growth and
self-discrimination. Not discriminating
or stereotyping on the bases of sex or
gender.

6. Equality and Equity
Equality is a goal to which we can
aspire. Equity means fairness, i.e.,
finding ways to help the disadvantaged
and disempowered "catch up" with their
more actualized fellow humans through
opportunities for development and
control over their lives.

7. Empowerment
The process by which women and
men achieve skills, confidence and
support to determine their own lives
and make their own choices. It is the
state in which people have access to
resources and opportunities to control
their own future.
