Is it just women who can be
gender-sensitive?
No.
Anyone can be
gender-sensitive
Being Gender Sensitive is
understanding that this:
means taking women and men seriously
• SEEING – women and men, what they actually do, rather than
relying on assumptions

SOGI, So What?
Homo Bi Hetero
Gender identity is defined
by the individual
Refers to each person’s deeply felt
internal and individual experience of
gender, which may or may not
correspond with the sex assigned at
birth, including the personal sense of
the body (which may involve, if
freely chosen, modification of bodily
appearance or function by medical,
surgical or other means) and other
expressions of gender, including
dress, speech and mannerisms.
Beyond the masculine man
and feminine woman
Transgenders are those who
were born of one sex but
identifies with the gender of the
opposite sex. Some go through a
process of transitioning.

What’s the fuss?
In the end, these are just labels for conditions
—physiological, psychological and
sociological.
In an ideal world,
sex, sexual
orientation and
gender identity
are incidental.
But in a heavily prejudiced society, these
conditions result in negative judgments and
biases against those that are perceived to be
different by the mainstream.
The many ugly implications
Stereotyping.
Invisibility.
Marginalization.
Stigma.
Inequality.
Persecution.
The “moral” of the story is
We live in a world of diversity.
SOGI should not be used for unequal treatment
and discrimination.
SOGI should be discussed
Everyone should re-assess notions on and
attitudes toward sex, gender and SOGI.
SOGI, So What?
• There are people outside of the masculine
men and feminine women constructs and
binary;
• Equality requires that we consider all human
beings in our programs and strategies;
• Our programs and strategies should focus on
vulnerable groups.

Equality and empowerment are the

Men Opposed to Violence against
Women Everywhere (MOVE)
“Women do two-thirds of the
world’s work. They produce 60 to
80 percent of Africa’s and Asia’s
food, 40 percent of Latin
America’s. Yet they earn only
one-tenth of the world’s income
and own less than one percent of
the world’s property. They are
among the poorest of the world’s
poor.”—May You Be the Mother of a
Hundred Sons, by Elisabeth Bumiller.
Despite the significant
role played by women in
the society , oftentimes,
they are taken for
granted and worst, even
subjected to all type of
prejudice, abuses and
violence
From the womb to the grave, women fall victim to
violence, according to the United Nations’ Human
Development Report. Studies from around the
world reveal the following:
