Gender studies Lecture number 1:

Food for thought:

- Awea gawan: 7 birth concepts in India as they have 7 life’s and as if we observe 7 manazil in Quran and tawaf in
Khanna Kaaba, 7 sky etc. so 7 has concern with different religion.
- If given a chance and asked what would you like to be in next life female or male or why?
- Think over the following before you jump to answer
• Celebration at the time of birth
• Status and position in the Family
• Access to food, education, health facilities - Family + Society
• Access to financial resources Family + Society
• Participation in the decision making processes - Self -Family + Social Life - Economic
Activity - Political Presence & Voice
• Freedom to choose profession
• Participation in sports
• Recreation - Tourism - dining out - spending time with friends
• And while you are thinking, take into consideration the lives of millions of girls/women who don't even know
that Gender Studies EXISTS! Or they have inherent Human & Women Rights

for that in some area parents discriminate in between men and women as boys get more in society and in many
societies in some areas women eat left over as male have more hospitals to solve issue as there. Women are
usually a political and men more educated in political terms. Women are usually be hired to attract other.
Women have less social interaction and gathering then men.
