_Gender, Gender Concept & Definitions_
*Sex vs Gender*
Sex
-Biological characteristics (including genetics, -Socially constructed set of roles and responsibilities
anatomy and physiology) that generally define associated with being a girl and boy or women and
humans as female or male, note that these men and in some cultures a third or other gender.
biological characteristics are not mutually
exclusive. However, there are individual who
possess both male and female characteristics.
-Born with
-Natural
-Universal a historical no variation from culture to
culture or time to time.
-Cannot be changed except w/ the medical
treatment.
-It is about biology and about our bodies. It is
what we are born with: women have breasts and
vagina. They can get pregnant and breastfeed
babies. Men have a penis and can get women
pregnant. This cannot be change w/o surgical and
medical intervention.
Gender
-Not born with
-Learned
-Gender roles vary greatly in different
-Although deeply rooted, gender roles can be
changed over time. Since values & norms are not
static.
Ex.: The expectation of men to be economic
providers of the family and for women to be
caregivers is a gender norm in many cultural
contexts. However, women prove able to do
traditionally male job as well as men (e.g. men and
women can do housework; men and women can be
leaders and managers.)
-It is about culture and society. It is the way in which
society teaches men and women that they should
behave, based on their sex. For example, whether
girls should go to school or not, whether boys are
allowed to have sex before marriage or not, and so
this can be changed as culture and society evolve
over time.
 *Gender Equality vs Gender Equity*

Gender Equality Gender Equity

-The state or condition that affords women
and men equal enjoyment of human rights,
socially valued goods, opportunities and
resources, allowing both sexes the same
opportunities and potential to contribute to,
and benefit from, all spheres or
society(economic political, social and culture).
-Justice and fairness in the treatment of women and
men in order to eventually achieve gender equality,
often requesting differential treatment of women and
men(or specific measures) in order to compensate for
the historical and social disadvantages that prevent
women and men from sharing a level playing field.

-Ex.: A family has limited funds, and both Ex.: Provision of leadership training for women or
daughter and son need new pair of shoes for establishing qoutas for women in decision-making
the new school year, but only one can get new positions in order to achieve the state of gender
shoes this year. If the family decides(and who equality.
in the family decides?) which child will get the
new shoes based on the child's need, and not
on the child's sex, this is an example of gender
equality.

*Gender Equality vs Women Rigths*

Women Rights:

 Entitlements that women have on the basis that they are human.
 Normatively based in several international Human Rights documents(e.g The
Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against women(CEDAW)
 Arranged around the concept of duty bearer and rights holder.

Gender Equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex are fundamental rights.

Gender Equality implies equal enjoyment of rights by men and women.

*Transgender vs Transexual*
Transgender refers to those trans people who live permanently in their preferred gender,
without necessarily needing to undergo any medical interventions.

Transexual refers to people who identifies entirely with the gender role opposite to the sex
assigned to at birth and seeks to live permanently in the preferred gender role. They might
intend to undergo, are undergoing or have undergone gender reassignment treatment(which
may or may not involve hormone therapy or surgery).

*Gender Gap and Pattern of Gender Inequality*

The Gender Gap is the difference in any area between women and men in terms of their
level of participation, access to resources, rights, power and influence, remuneration, and
benefits of particular relevance related to women's work is the "Gender Pay Gap", describing
the difference between the average earnings of men and women(ILO 2007). Global Gender Gap
report 2014 Benchmarks National Gender Gap of 142 countries on economic, political,
education-and-health-based critetia. 2014 was a 9th edition of the index.

*Patterns of Inequalities*

 Inequalities in political power and representation : Women are often

underrepresented in formal decision-making structures, including governments,
community councils, and policy-making institutions.
 Inequalities in economic participation and opportunities : In most countries, women
and men are distributed differently across sectors. Women are receiving lower wages
for similar works, are more likely to be in low-paid jobs and unsecured work(part-time,
temporary ,home-based)and are likely to have less access than men to productive assets
such as education, skills, property and credit.
 Educational attainment: In most countries women have lower literacy rate, lower level
of enrollment un primary, secondary and tertiary education.
 Sexual and Domestic Violence: Women tend to be more often victims in a form a
domestic violence by woman's intimate partner, sexual exploitation through trafficking
and sex trade, in wars by an enemy army as a weapon of attempted ethnic cleansing etc.
 Differences in legal status and entitlements: There are many instances in which equal
rights to personal status, security, land inheritance and employment opportunities are
denied to women by law or practice.

GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD)

What is Gender and Development(GAD)?

Gender and Development(GAD)- refers to the development perspective process that is

participatory,empowering,equitable, sustainable, free from violence, respect to human rights,
supportive of self-determination and actualization of human potentials. It seeks to achieve
gender equality as a fundamental value that should be reflected in development choices and
contends that women are active agents of development, not just passive recipients of
development.

What is Gad?

The GAD(Gender and Development) approach focuses on the socially constructed bases of
differences between men and womenand emphasizes the need to cahllenge existing gender
roles and relations.

Caroline Moser develop Moses Gender Planning Framework for GAD-oriented

development planning in the 1980's while working at the Development Planning Unit of
University of London. Working with Caren Levy, she expanded it into a methodology for
gender policy and planning. The Moser framework follows the Gender and Development
approach in emphasizing the importanceif gender relations.

Theory of GAD
GAD was develop in the 1980's as an alternative to the Women in Development (WID)
approach.

Unlike WID, the GAD approach is not concerned specifically with women, but with the way in
which a society assigns roles,Responsibilities and expectations to both women and men.

GAD applies gender analysis to uncover the ways in which women and men work
together,presenting results in neutral terms of economics and efficiency.

THE WORLD BANK

The World Bank was one of the first international organizations to recognise the need for
Women in Development , appointing a WID Adviser in 1977.In 1984 the bank mandated that its
programs consider women's issues. In 1994 the bank issued a policy paper on Gender and
Development, reflecting current thinking in the subject. This policy aims to address policy and
institutional constraints that maintain disparities between the genders and thus limit the
effectiveness of development programs.

"An extremely important part of an individual's identity and one that begins.
at least at birth, is gender. "
-Dr. Kenneth Cushner,American Professor
Human Diversity in Education: An intercultural Approach

It is more than just knowing that you are male or female.Identification of sex is usually
clearly internalized by the age of 3, but begins around the age of 18 months. Gender identity
includes knowledge of a large set of rules and expectationsfir what boys and girls should wear,
how they should speak and act and their 'place' in the overall structure of the society.

FAMILY
Ruth Hartley notes 4 processes involved in gender socialization.

1.Manipulation - means that people handle girls and boys differently as infants.

Example: Mothers tend to use more physical stimulation on male infants and more verbal
stimulation in female infants.

Boy babies are tossed in the air.

Girl babies get more delicate handling.

Example:

Brave boy, pretty girl

Boys don't cry, Girls don't hit playmates

4. Activity Exposure - familiarizing children to their gender-appropriate tasks.

Example:

Girls help their mother with housework

Boys are encouraged to play outside the house

Each rape attack plays out much differently from the next,with no tactic being effective for
women to use in every situation they may find themselves in. Some women in the past have
been successful in getting away by simply reasoning with the attacker, while others got free by
acting erraticallyor by using self-defense method of attack. Here are some prevention tips
against being raped:

 If you ever find yourself in a rape situation or potential rape situation, try to escape
your attacker.
 When you do get away, be sure to a safe place and call the police right away.
 Rapist generally tend to attack women who appear to be walking along aimlessly or who
do not seem very active. Thus, by being confident and ealking erect and purposefully,
you can deter a rapist.
 If you are walking in the streets, make sure to stay away from narrow alleys or dark
streets.
 Do not walk by yourself after dark. Take a cab home or call a friend to pick you up.
 Do not ger into an elevator alone with someone you do not know. If you do find yourself
alone with a stranger, stay near the exit doors of the elevator and within the reach of
the control panel.
 Use your finger nails to scratch the attacker in the event of rape. This will help you to
identify the attacker in the future and the DNA under the nails will also be helpful
during the investigations.
 While travelling, don't try to pick up hitch hikers.
 Avoid travelling alone in the night particularly in the isolated areas.
 Most of the sexual attacks are followed by some visual signs. They may be in form of the
look,talk and the attack. When the first sign itself is observe,try to leave the place.
  As a woman, you can always carry pepper spray with you. Police authorities strictly
suggest the use of pepper spray in case of an attack.
 You can also use anything in your hand like pencil,pen, vegetbles, mobile phone, hot
tea, bag, umbrella,etc. as an emergency self-deffense tool to skips from the attacks.
 Scream loudly for "HELP" in case of worst attack.
