Gender sensitisation : Call for Equality

“Girls are weighed down by restrictions, boys with demands- two equally harmful disciplines”

Simone de Beauvior exclaimed sensitisation of what it speaks for “not girly”, it vocalises female voices, but empowering the gender spectrum to seek for rights equally serving everyone befalling under the guise. The societal conventions not only overlook women’s rights, but overlook the emotional invoice of humanity- it’s stoic prevalence, unparalleled and non-answerable to any. Thus, creating a gaping wound, denying everyone’s rights around the globe and making gender sensitisation crucial.

Gender sensitisation not only supports and demands women’s rights, rather is a call that every individual under the gender spectrum should feel free to be sensitive, to be strong and to perceive gender on a spectrum snd not as two opposing sets of ideals. Gender sensitisation is education of gender sensitivity, it is awareness of gender equality and the need to eliminate gender discrimination. Centuries of spiting gender against each other has blurred such issues, blinding progress and inhibiting prosperity in society.

For such spoils of society can only be eradicated with action in the design of development policies, programmes and budgets. Stoic and restrictive views should be challenged, called out and replaced. Not only to raise daughters like sons to be bold and outgoing ,but to also have the courage and bravery to raise sons as daughters to inculcate the caress and subtlety in their nature, and both be given equal rights and freedom. For it is rightly quoted “Culture does not make people, people make the culture. If it is true that the whole of humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.” -Chimananda Naozi Adiche (We should all be feminists)
