Gender madule Session

Gender Module Session

 

We had Gender Madule During Deshpande Fellowship Program

IN this Madule I under stand.

          Here I would lick to share my class. Today class was excellent. I understood sex and gender. In the class, we did activate related on gender and sex.   Sometimes it is hard to understand exactly what is meant by the term "gender", and how it differs from the closely related term "sex". But today I understood clearly.

Sex: male and female

Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.

Aspects of sex will not vary substantially between different human societies, while aspects of gender may vary greatly.

Some examples of sex characteristics:

• Women menstruate while men do not
• Men have testicles while women do not
• Women have developed breasts that are usually capable of lactating, while men have not
• Men generally have more massive bones than women

Gender: masculine and feminine

Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

Some examples of gender characteristics:

• In the United States (and most other countries), women earn significantly less money than men for similar work
• In Viet Nam, many more men than women smoke, as female smoking has not traditionally been considered appropriate
• In Saudi Arabia men are allowed to drive cars while women are not
• In most of the world, women do more housework than men 

In the society we are doing discrimination on male and female. Its come by birth, from family school age class marital status economic profession cast religion we have concept of gender  and sex , but now a day we want to change that concept.

And also in the class I learned how to gender analysis, it means a systematic way of looking at the different impact of development policies program and men that entail. In that reason  rootcaes and impact of problem.
