Presentation given at the Future Health Systems Meeting in Nigeria January 2009 on innovations in health markets. www.futurehealthsystems.org
Concept & Context of Gender
The document discusses the concepts of gender, sex, and socialization. It traces the evolution of approaches to promoting gender equality from Women in Development (WID) to Gender and Development (GAD) to the current approach of Gender Mainstreaming (GM). WID focused on women's practical needs but reinforced stereotypes. GAD examined unequal power relations and gender relations but was difficult to implement. GM aims to institutionalize gender sensitivity by integrating a gender perspective into all policies from the start. However, effectively applying gender mainstreaming remains a challenge.
Gender issues
This document discusses several issues related to gender and sexuality. It defines key terms like sex, gender, gender sensitivity, equality and equity. It provides statistics showing disparities faced by women, such as lower representation in politics and peace processes. It also gives data on harassment and violence faced by LGBT youth, such as higher rates of suicide attempts, depression, drug use, and lower academic performance due to harassment. The document discusses greater acceptance of homosexuality in more secular and affluent countries globally. It emphasizes that gay rights are human rights and promotes the idea that we are all inhabitants of one world.
GENDER ROLES & STEREOTYPES
The document discusses gender identity and the factors that influence it. It explains that gender identity is a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not correspond to their sex assigned at birth. It explores both biological factors like genes and hormones, as well as strong social and environmental influences like parental attitudes and cultural norms. The document also addresses how gender roles and stereotypes are learned from a young age but are becoming more flexible in modern times.

Understanding Gender
This document discusses understanding gender and gender concepts such as gender, sex, gender stereotypes, and gender sensitivity. It defines gender as socially constructed relationships between men and women that change over time and context. Sex refers to biological differences. Gender stereotypes produce expectations that influence behavior and stand in the way of social change. Gender sensitivity means awareness is translated into practices that change perceptions and activities to make institutions more inclusive. It discusses analyzing the gender culture of departments and comparing them. It also addresses mainstreaming gender through context-specific analysis, profiling, gender audits and indicators.
Gender sensitivity issues
This document discusses various concepts related to gender including:
1. The differences between sex (biological) and gender (socially constructed roles and behaviors)
2. Observations about gender issues in schools including higher enrollment of girls but increased dropout rates for boys.
3. Key terms like patriarchy, class, condition, position, discrimination, double burden, feminism, and violence against women.
4. God's original intention for men and women to be equal partners in dominion over creation.
Gender as a development issue
This presentation discusses gender as a development issue. It aims to understand gender and development, gender discriminations and inequalities, and the importance of addressing gender issues and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It provides data on global educational, health, economic, and political inequalities faced by women. While Bangladesh has made progress in some development indicators, it still faces challenges like lower female education rates, labor participation, and political representation. Existing policy gaps and recommendations to promote gender equality and women's empowerment are discussed to foster more inclusive development.
Gender
This document discusses gender and development. It outlines different approaches to gender and development such as women in development, women and development, and gender and development. It also discusses several gender issues including gender and education, resources, work, maternal mortality, declining sex ratios, migration patterns, and violence. The document emphasizes that gender is a social construct that varies by culture, rather than being biologically determined. It highlights the benefits of educating women for development outcomes like reduced infant mortality and improved child health. Overall, the document argues that addressing gender inequalities through policies and institutions is important for promoting economic growth and development.
Gender mainstreaming-in-electoral-process-pakistan
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy for achieving gender equality by ensuring that both women and men have equal access to opportunities and resources at all levels of development. The concept was first proposed in 1985 and formally featured at the 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing. The Election Commission of Pakistan supports gender mainstreaming and increasing women's participation in the electoral process, such as through its Gender Corner and using technology like social media. Ensuring conditions like political rights, citizenship, and access to information can help promote gender equality.
Gender sensitivity
Gender sensitivity issues are arising in India that create inequality between men and women. Some key issues include inequality in healthcare, education, employment, nutrition, religion, politics, travel rights, and increased violence against women. Women face discrimination and barriers in many areas of life. Addressing gender sensitivity and reducing sexism is important for generating respect for all individuals regardless of gender.
Ncfc on revised national gender policy 2013
The document discusses gender and development, noting that while progress has been made in human and women's rights, vast economic and social differences remain between genders globally that hinder individual potential. Public policies can perpetuate or eliminate discrimination, so policymakers must focus on gender equity by systematically removing discrimination and giving equal opportunities to women and men. The revised National Gender Policy 2013 aims to reduce gender disparities in access to resources and create an environment where all can achieve their full potential by focusing on health, education, wealth generation, gender-based violence, and power/decision-making. The policy takes a gender perspective on development issues and mainstreaming gender by stimulating reflection and strategic actions to create opportunities for women and men.
Gender role 2.pptx
This document discusses gender sensitization and the role of women in Pakistani society. It begins by defining the differences between sex and gender, noting that sex refers to biological characteristics while gender refers to socially constructed roles. It then provides examples of characteristics that are sex-based versus gender-based. The document goes on to discuss the status and roles of women in Pakistani society, noting that women often have less autonomy and face various forms of violence. It concludes by arguing that improving media portrayals of women and increasing women's education can help enhance women's status in Pakistan.
Gender and Sex
The document discusses various concepts related to gender including:
- Gender refers to the socially constructed roles and behaviors of men and women, as opposed to sex which refers to biological differences.
- Patriarchy involves the control of women's productive labor, reproduction, sexuality, and property by men in society.
- Gender roles are expectations of how men and women should behave and the types of work they do in a society.
- Gender equality means equal status and opportunities for men and women, while gender equity recognizes different needs and may require different treatment.
- Women's empowerment involves increasing women's power and control over their lives through awareness, self-confidence, access to resources, and transforming discriminatory structures.
Premise gender sensitivity
Gender sensitivity helps reduce barriers created by sexism by generating respect for individuals regardless of sex. Gender is a social construct that specifies the roles socially and culturally expected of men and women, while sex is a biological category of male and female. Gender sensitivity involves gender awareness to clarify issues around disparities and analyze how gender shapes women's and men's roles in society and development.
GENDER CONCEPTS
Transgender people are individuals whose gender identities do not correspond with their biological sex. Transgender is an umbrella term that includes people who identify as transsexual, transgender, transvestite, genderqueer or non-binary. Transgender people face many social and legal challenges including discrimination, lack of access to healthcare and education, and difficulty exercising basic civil and legal rights.
Advocacy for gender equality
This document outlines what feminism is not and what it is. It is not about pitting women against men or having women take on traditional male roles. Rather, it is about expanding social roles so people can fulfill their potential regardless of sex. It is not about women giving up housework, but recognizing its value and making household responsibilities shared. Feminism is also about giving women a voice and enabling them to make their own choices and determine their own futures, rather than having solutions imposed on them from outside. Ultimately, it is a vision of creating a just, equitable society through understanding issues and empowering all people to work together towards positive change.
Gender and Development
India has one of the lowest sex ratios in the world at 933 females per 1000 males. This is due to strong son preference and practices like female infanticide and foeticide. Over 1 in 3 Indian girls do not live to see their 15th birthday. Haryana state has the worst ratio of 879 females per 1000 males. The document discusses key concepts in gender and development like patriarchy, gender discrimination, and women's empowerment. It contrasts the Women in Development and Gender and Development approaches, noting that GAD focuses on challenging gender roles and relations to achieve social and gender equality.
Gender Mainstreaming concepts and approaches
This document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts related to gender mainstreaming. It discusses:
- The definition of gender mainstreaming as developing policies, programs, and development plans from a gender equality perspective to benefit both women and men.
- The differences between women's empowerment, which targets actions specifically towards women, and gender mainstreaming, which takes a gender lens to all programs and considers their differential impacts.
- Key gender-related terms like sex, gender, gender equality, and gender equity and how they are defined.
- The importance of gender analysis and gender-responsive budgeting in mainstreaming gender and addressing inequalities.
Gender School and Society
The document discusses the key agents of socialization: family and school. It states that the family is the primary agent of socialization, where children first learn language, gender roles, and values. Schools also play an important role as they teach children skills and values to prepare them for the wider world, through both formal classroom learning and informal peer interactions. While families may socialize children differently, schools aim to standardize learning and modify aspects that are not acceptable to the broader community. Overall, both families and schools significantly influence how children are socialized and learn the norms of their culture.
Role of gender
what is gender?, gender inequality, factors responsible for gender inequality, goverments work and social reformers
Sex and Gender: What is the difference?
The document discusses the differences between sex and gender from biological and social perspectives. Biologically, there are anatomical, physiological, genetic, and vulnerability differences between males and females. Socially, gender roles assign responsibilities, behaviors, expectations, power, access, rights, and entitlement that typically assign lower status to women and higher status to men. A gender analysis framework is presented to help identify differences in roles, power imbalances, needs, constraints, and opportunities between males and females to understand how these impact health outcomes like vulnerability to disease and access to care.
Gender school and society
1. Develop basic understanding and familiarity with key concepts- gender, gender bias, gender stereotype, empowerment, gender parity, equity, and equality, patriarchy and feminism;
2. Understand the gradual paradigm shift from women’ studies to gender studies and some important landmarks in connection with gender and education in the historical and contemporary period;
3. Learn about gender issues in school, curriculum, textual materials across disciplines, pedagogical processes and its intersection with class, caste, religion and region; and
4. Understand how gender, power and sexuality relate to education (in terms of access, curriculum and pedagogy).
Envisioning a gender fair society [autosaved]
This document discusses envisioning a gender fair society through analyzing sex and gender differences, the gender and development framework in education, and changes needed to achieve greater gender equality. It examines feminist theories that view gender inequality through legal rights, social institutions, and women's reproductive roles. The document envisions a world without male dominance where cultural values equally value females and males and both women and men can access all social roles. Achieving this requires changes in education, the economy, family, and policies to support gender equal participation and responsibilities in both public and private spheres.
Marginalized populations group presentation
The document discusses several difficult family dynamics that students may experience such as having an incarcerated parent, parents that are divorced, or being a teen parent. It also covers challenges faced by gay teens such as higher dropout rates and increased risk of depression due to stigma, lack of support, and bullying. Potential solutions proposed include raising awareness, encouraging open dialogue, establishing safe zones, and implementing anti-bullying programs.

Gender inequality manifests in numerous ways, affecting both men and women. Historically, women have faced systemic discrimination and oppression, resulting in limited opportunities for education, employment, and political participation. This inequality not only violates women's rights as citizens and individuals but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes and restricts the full realization of their potential. However, it is essential to recognize that gender inequality also impacts men, albeit differently. Traditional notions of masculinity can create pressure to conform to rigid gender roles, leading to mental health issues, and inhibiting emotional expression.
Understanding the notion of citizenship is crucial for contextualizing gender inequality within broader social and political frameworks. Citizenship entails not only legal rights and responsibilities but also social and cultural recognition within a community or nation. However, gender-based discrimination often undermines women's citizenship rights, denying them equal access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes. This violation of women's rights as citizens reflects the pervasive nature of gender inequalities and highlights the urgent need for systemic change.
Central to the perpetuation of gender inequality is the patriarchal system, which privileges men's power and dominance over women. Patriarchy operates through social structures and institutions, reinforcing traditional gender norms and perpetuating inequalities in access to resources and positions of power. By understanding patriarchy as a root cause of gender inequality, we can begin to challenge and dismantle its harmful effects, paving the way for more equitable societies.
Biological sex and socially constructed gender are distinct yet interconnected aspects of identity that shape individuals' experiences and opportunities. While biological sex refers to physical characteristics such as anatomy and genetics, gender encompasses the roles, behaviors, and identities that society attributes to individuals based on their perceived sex. It is essential to recognize that gender is not inherently tied to biology but is instead shaped by cultural norms and expectations.

Women in India face many issues including child marriage, female infanticide, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. Statistics show that a woman is molested every 26 minutes and a rape is reported every 36 minutes in India. Empowering women through education, access to resources, and political participation can help address these issues. A multifaceted approach is needed that includes education, healthcare, infrastructure development, ensuring property and inheritance rights, closing the gender gap in employment, increasing women's representation in government, and preventing violence against women. Political will and mobilizing change agents at all levels of society are essential to bringing about the deep transformations needed for a gender-equal society.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
