Gender awareness and equality

Image
Gender awareness,    equality  and pronouns Gender awareness raising aims at increasing general sensitivity, understanding and the knowledge about gender equality. Awareness raising is a process which helps to facilitate the exchange of ideas, improve mutual understanding and develop skills which are necessary for social changes. Gender awareness raising means providing reliable and accessible information to built a better understanding of gender equality as a core value of democratic societies. Gender neutral or gender inclusive pronouns are unspecific to one gender. Using gender neutral pronouns doesn’t label or associate the person being discussed with a specific gender. This is specially important for people who does not identify with their assigned gender at birth. Physical sex does not determine gender. In other words, genitals does not mean same gender. Rather than assume someone’s pronouns based on their perceived gender or appearance , it’s hard to ask what their pronouns are.
