Which of the following statement shows gender sensitivity? I. In certain cultures, women are not allowed to drive. II. Providing separate toilets for boys and girls. Correct Answer Only II

The correct answer is Only II.

Key Points

  • Gender sensitivity is the process by which people are made aware of how gender plays a role in life throughout their treatment of others.
  • The concept of gender sensitivity is a way of reducing the barriers caused due to discrimination and gender bias.
  • Creating the right kind of gender-sensitive environment leads to mutual respect regardless of their gender.
  • Providing separate toilets for boys and girls is an example of gender sensitivity.
  • However, women not allowed to drive shows gender bias rather than gender sensitivity.

 Thus, we can say that providing separate toilets for boys and girls shows gender sensitivity.
