    REFLECTION

    One of the webinar's goals was to raise gender awareness and gender sensitivity.
    The webinar emphasizes the need of eradicating erroneous gender stereotypes and
    misconceptions.
    We are all aware of the pervasiveness of gender stereotypes but our webinar does
    not rehash the same points. Instead, the speaker turns the attention to a related aspect
    — about gender sensitivity. Simply explained, being sensitive means being aware of other
    people's sentiments. Gender sensitivity in this context refers to being aware of the feelings
    of the opposite gender. This is significant because men and women, including the
    member of LGBT community think differently and, as a result, have distinct views.
    Throughout the webinar, I realized that the first and most crucial component of
    gender sensitivity is to be open to any colleague of the opposite gender's view and
    sentiments. This could be as basic as learning enough about their personal concerns to
    have a more nuanced knowledge of gender-specific characteristics like rude comments
    or jokes. Although there is a growing awareness of this issue, and some organizations
    have begun to establish the boundaries of acceptable behavior, the onus remains on the
    individual. Men, women and other genders are increasingly working together in
    management roles, and teams will not be effective unless there is mutual respect.
    Unfortunately, the majority of people are not taught gender awareness or other
    inclusive behaviors. With this, a gender-linked characterization problem emerges,
    dictating or influencing what a woman or man should do and can be, and so dictating or
    influencing men's and women's development and viewpoints in society. Our educational
    system is doing everything they can to help us in any way they can, and they continue to
    push for Gender and Development to be mainstreamed in policies, plans, programs, and
    structures. I firmly believe that Gender Mainstreaming or Gender and Development (GAD)
    mainstreaming is the major strategy for ensuring that the schools and other entities
    pursues gender equality in all aspects of the development process to achieve the vision
    of a gender-responsive society where women and men equally contribute to and benefit
    from development. However, due to the fact that many schools, including colleges, are
    not co-educational, students are obliged to socialize with people of their own gender and
    focus on what their gender must be and other genders should not, which often times lead
    to gender stereotypes and discrimination.

    In essence, the webinar made me think about a variety of things related to gender
    issues and realized that gender sensitivity is all about overcoming erroneous beliefs and
    perceptions, as well as learning how to interact with people of different genders. It is
    preferable to learn and practice this as soon as possible.
