Promoting Gender Equality and Equity: Insights from CGEE's Awareness Session for New Intake 41
Gender equality and equity are fundamental principles that pave the way for a fair and just society. In an effort to foster greater awareness and understanding among its members, the Director of the Center for Gender Equity and Empowerment (CGEE) recently conducted a comprehensive session for the incoming cohort, Intake 41. This article delves into the key takeaways and significance of this enlightening session held on the 23rd and 28th of January 2024.
Understanding Gender Equality vs. Equity: Before delving into the specifics of the awareness session, it’s crucial to grasp the distinction between gender equality and equity. While gender equality aims to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities, regardless of gender, gender equity acknowledges that historical and societal disparities may require different approaches and resources to achieve true equality.
The gender equality and equity awareness session conducted by the Director of CGEE for Intake 41 served as a vital step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable environment. By fostering awareness, understanding, and empowerment, participants are better equipped to challenge gender stereotypes, advocate for equality, and contribute to a society where everyone can thrive, irrespective of gender.
Through continued education, dialogue, and action, CGEE remains committed to advancing the cause of gender equality and equity, paving the way for a more just and inclusive future.
