It notes that violence against women occurs in all countries and cultures, and takes many forms including domestic violence, sexual harassment, harmful traditional practices, forced marriage, trafficking, and conflict-related sexual violence. The effects of violence against women include physical and mental health problems, limited access to basic rights and development, and economic costs. Discrimination and unequal power relations between men and women are identified as underlying causes. The organization Womankind supports local women's groups and advocates for legal and policy changes to address violence against women through counseling, safe housing, community education, and research.

Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles.
Gender equality, also known as sex equality, sexual equality, or equality of the genders, is the view that everyone should receive equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their gender.
I with a deeper instinct choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demand on me, who does not doubt my courage, or my toughness, who does not behave me naive or innocent, who has courage to treat me like a women…

Feminism: An Overview And the Colonization of Diversity
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies that share a common stated aim: to define, establish, and defend equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights of women rights. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist generally self-defines as advocating for or supporting the rights and equality of women. Feminist theory which emerged from feminist movements aims to understand the nature of gender inequality by examining women's social roles and lived experience; it has developed theories in a variety of disciplines in order to respond to issues such as the social construction of sex and gender. Some forms of feminism have been criticized for taking into account only white, middle-class, educated perspectives. This led to the creation of ethnically specific or multiculturalist forms of feminism.

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.
Pathways to Equality: The Role of Men and Women in Gender EquityAtharv Kurhade
Gender sensitivity is a multifaceted concept that encompasses understanding, acknowledging, and addressing the impact of gender inequality on individuals and society. It involves recognizing the complex interplay between biological sex and socially constructed gender roles, as well as the ways in which these dynamics shape power dynamics, access to resources, and experiences of discrimination. In this comprehensive exploration of gender sensitivity, we will delve into various aspects, including the implications of gender inequality, the role of patriarchy, the importance of breaking stereotypes, and the necessity of promoting gender equality for the liberation of all genders.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Violence Against Women
In all countries from the UK to Uganda, women
and girls experience violence. Within these
countries, it happens to women at different
ages, classes, faiths and cultures. Womankind
believes that violence against women
happens because men and women are not
equal. While men also experience violence,
the number of women who are hurt and the
severity of their injury are far greater.
3. Preventing Violence Against Women
1. Providing services such as counselling and
safe housing to women and girls affected by
violence.
2. Supporting community education to end
acceptance of violence.
3. Working to change laws and practices for the
better.
4. What is violence against women?
The term ‘violence against women’ means any act of genderbased violence that results in physical, sexual or psychological
harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts,
threat or random deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in
public or private life.
Some women experience violence at home by their boyfriend,
husband or other relative. Others face sexual harassment at
work. In some countries, women are subjected to harmful
traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation, or
many be forced to marry at an early age. Women may also be
forced into prostitution by traffickers and in times of conflict,
it is women who are most likely to be the target of sexual
violence especially rape.
5. What are the effects if violence against
women?
1.
2.
3.
Violence stops women accessing their most basic rights – to safety, health,
schooling and work. Due to violence women experience injury, mental health
and emotional problems. Violence limits women’s access to land, water and
food and their ability to participate in work, education, travel and community
meetings. It also stops women and their families from making positive changes
in their own lives in order to end the poverty they and their communities
experience.
Violence against women has economic costs for both the individual and society,
including missed work, health care for survivors, emergency shelters and legal
cases. For these reasons, violence against women constitutes a major obstacle
to development, peace and security.
The issue of violence against women cannot be separated from other important
issues affecting women, such as HIV and AIDS. Women are at a heightened risk
of infection due to violence, but are also subject to violence of their positive
status is disclosed.
6. What causes violence against women?
Womankind believes that discrimination and unequal power relations lie at the heart
of women’s greater vulnerability to violence and that addressing the inequality that is
at the heart of all societies must be our priority.
Violence is used as a way of controlling women, both in families and wider society, to
keep them in a subordinate position to men. Inadequate laws to challenge violence,
negative media image, cultural practices, government complacency and the absence
of educational programmes to address the causes and consequences of violence all
add to the violence women experience.
7. What is Womankind doing to tackle the
problem of violence against women?
Womankind supports women around the world to end the violence they, their family
and friends are experiencing. Through their active partner organisation in Africa, Asia,
Latin America, they support local solutions to violence against women including
counselling, safe houses and community education to reduce acceptance of violence.
They also work with women’s organisations to carry out research and to persuade
decision makers with the power to change laws and policies to benefits women, both
in the UK and internationally.
They encourage women and men to work together and to involve the wider
community in order to bring about community in order to bring about lasting change
in attitudes and behaviours. They also bring partners together to share information
about lessons learnt and new strategies and to use this information to inform future
planning and to shape the views of decision-makers.
9. Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can be a source of much
irritation, anger and misery in the workplace,
and anyone (female or male) suffering from
unwelcome sexual attentions in entitled to
the protection of the law. The criminal law
covering the field of ‘offences against the
person’ deals with the most serious forms of
sexual misbehaviour such as indecent
assault or rape. An employee committing
such acts would certainly be accountable to
instant notice for gross misbehaviour.
12. Women Self-Defence (Just
learn to fight)
•
•
Many women interested in self-defence enter some sort of martial arts program. These
programs vary widely in style, philosophy and approach. For the purposes of this paper a
discussion of martial art styles and their subsequent strengths and weaknesses in
relationship to women's self defence would be an inordinate undertaking. However, a brief
discussion of sexism in martial arts is warranted. Women have been excluded from martial
arts education either directly or indirectly for most of its history.
Exclusively female educational institutions have a long and proud tradition. Some research
on women's colleges includes findings that these colleges encourage leadership skills in
women, provide women with more female role models, and that they encourage women to
focus on traditionally male-dominated fields of study. However, other research finds that
factors such as the level of selectivity of the college may play a part in the institution's
positive effects on students. One of the responses to female exclusion and sexism in martial
arts is the emergence of all-female schools and a general discussion among female martial
artists about how to deal with sexism in co-ed schools. Organizations like the National
Women's Martial Arts Federation and schools like Brooklyn Women's Martial Arts and Valley
Women's Martial Arts, Inc. offer women the opportunity to train in an all female
environment devoted exclusively to women's self-defence issues and physical attributes.
