 SURVEY RESULT ON GENDER EQUAITY

The survey results from Grade 11 STEM students reveal a notable tie in their knowledge

and understanding of fostering good engagement in advocating gender equality. A striking

observation is the high peak of respondents, scoring 8 out of 8, who answered 'sometimes' when

questioned about how informed they feel about gender equality in their current state. Conversely,

a significant gap is evident as 0 out of 8 respondents indicated 'always,' highlighting a potential

deficiency in consistent awareness among the student body.

Further analysis of the total scores across various questions suggests that students may be

lacking engagement and comprehensive knowledge regarding gender equality. The high gap

result of 12 responses indicating 'always,' 25 'sometimes,' 12 'often,' and none for 'never,'

underscores the need for a more concerted effort in promoting awareness and understanding. The

findings suggest a critical area for improvement in fostering sustained engagement among Grade

11 STEM students on the subject of gender equality.

In conclusion, the survey results paint a nuanced picture of Grade 11 STEM students'

awareness and understanding of gender equality. While a significant number acknowledge being

informed 'sometimes,' the absence of responses indicating 'always' suggests a notable gap in

consistent awareness. The distribution of responses across various questions further emphasizes
the need for increased efforts to engage students comprehensively in advocating gender equality.

Moving forward, targeted initiatives, educational programs, and discussions may play a pivotal

role in closing the identified gaps, fostering a more informed, engaged, and gender-sensitive

student community. The survey results serve as a valuable starting point for developing strategies

aimed at enhancing knowledge and awareness about gender equality within the Grade 11 STEM

cohort.

Objectives
Gender equality is a goal and a prerequisite for sustainable and peaceful development.
Gender equality is achieved when women, men, girls, and boys have equal rights, conditions and
opportunities, and the power to shape their own lives and contribute to the development of
society.

Gender awareness raising aims to promote and encourage a general understanding of

gender-related challenges, for instance, violence against women and the gender pay gap. It also
aims to show how values and norms influence our reality, reinforce stereotypes, and support the
structures that produce inequalities. End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls
everywhere. Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private
spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.

Gender awareness raising aims at increasing general sensitivity, understanding and

knowledge about gender (in)equality. Awareness raising is a process which helps to facilitate the
exchange of ideas, improve mutual understanding, and develop competencies and skills
necessary for societal change [. Gender awareness raising means providing reliable and
accessible information to build a better understanding of gender equality as a core value of
democratic societies. As a gender-mainstreaming method, gender awareness raising is crucial for
integrating a gender perspective into policies, programs, projects, and services that respond to the
different needs of women and men.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Gender equality has emerged as a pivotal global issue, transcending geographical boundaries and cultural
contexts. The pursuit of gender equality is not merely a social imperative; it is a fundamental human right
and a key driver of sustainable development. Over the years, considerable progress has been made in
challenging traditional gender norms and advocating for equal opportunities. However, disparities persist
in various spheres, highlighting the need for sustained research and interventions.
Historically, societies have been marked by deeply ingrained gender biases, limiting the potential of
individuals based on their gender identity. Despite advancements in education, employment, and legal
frameworks, gender-based discrimination continues to manifest in subtle and overt forms. This research
delves into the multifaceted dimensions of gender equality, seeking to unravel the complexities that
contribute to persisting disparities.
The study is contextualized within the broader framework of international commitments to gender
equality, such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As countries strive to
achieve Goal 5, which focuses explicitly on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and
girls, understanding the nuanced challenges and opportunities is imperative. This research aims to
contribute nuanced insights that can inform policies and initiatives aimed at fostering gender equality on a
global scale.
Furthermore, the study recognizes the interconnectedness of gender equality with various societal aspects,
including economic development, health outcomes, and political participation. The research endeavors to
explore not only the challenges hindering progress but also the success stories and best practices that can
serve as catalysts for positive change. By shedding light on the intricacies of gender dynamics, the study
aspires to foster a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the achievement of gender
equality.
In light of the dynamic nature of societal structures, this research acknowledges the evolving nature of
gender roles and expressions. The study aims to explore the intersectionality of gender with other identity
markers, such as race, class, and ethnicity, recognizing the importance of addressing multiple dimensions
of inequality simultaneously.
In summation, this background sets the stage for a comprehensive investigation into the current state of
gender equality, recognizing the strides made and the challenges that persist. Through a meticulous
examination of various facets, the research aspires to contribute valuable insights that can inform policies,
inspire advocacy, and propel societies towards a more equitable and inclusive future.
