Gender sensitization empowers the society by bringing in the concept of equality and by raising consciousness about the nature of gender as a social construct. The effort to spread awareness regarding gender as a spectrum among people has long been taken up by Governments, educational institutions and other organizations world-wide. Joining hands with this tremendous effort, the college has instituted a Gender Sensitization Cell in order to make the students partners in the struggle against exploitation, marginalization and discrimination of people belonging to particular genders.
OBJECTIVES
- To educate the students about how notions of gender work in society.
