Gender Sensitivity

Gender sensitivity is the process by which people are made aware of how gender plays a role in life through their treatment of others.Gender relations are present in all institutions and gender sensitivity especially manifests in recognizing privilege and discrimination around gender; women are generally seen as disadvantaged in society. Gender sensitivity trainings are used to educate people, usually employees, to become more aware of and sensitive to gender in their lives or workplaces.They are becoming more popular in the United States, particularly in areas of the service industry, such as healthcare and education.
