Gender Sensitivity
We have lived with our biases about how men and women behave, relate, and act so that it has become difficult for us to see that our wrong thinking about men and women are hurtful and destructive. In response to the campaign of the global community, the government, and the legislature towards the fair treatment of men and women, GuidanceNGO offers the Gender Sensitivity Seminar with a twist of career education. The Seminar hopes to open participants’ minds to the truth that most roles and skills can be taken up or learned by either men or women. If we correct our wrong ideas about what men or women can or can’t do, we can better achieve productive careers and lives. The Seminar identifies the methods used or ideas relied upon to discriminate. Most importantly, the Gender Sensitivity Seminar drives home the advocacy that men and women should be treated fairly at home, in school and training settings, and in the workplace.
