What is Gender Sensitivity?

 Gender sensitivity essentially refers to making


women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an
integral dimension of all policies and programs in an
organization so that women and men benefit equally
and inequality is not perpetuated. Gender issues are
sensitive and complicated and affect both women and
men regardless of status. The ability of an organization
to identify and handle gender inequality and gender
discrimination underpins its success in creating a
gender sensitive and inclusive work culture.
