PAPER FOR THE GENDER CONFERENCE 2-3 FEBRUARY 2021 ROLE OF EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY FOR GENDER EMPOWERMENT

Abstract

Gender empowerment is to make the people of all genders socially, psychologically, physically, politically, financially and spiritually sound; without any discrimination. Conventionally and traditionally the term ‘empowerment’ is usually co-related to the women, though it has an impact on other marginalized genders in a distinct social or political context. To overcome obstacles such as poverty, gender-discrimination, racial-discrimination, etc. there is a need to find an appropriate solution to tackle them. Education has always played a vital role in overcoming various problems in all spheres of life. It has helped to ventout one’s thoughts and emotions by means of healthy criticism and productive interaction. Both, at national and international front, it is seen that education has been instrumental in bridging the gap between the vulnerable and non-vulnerable groups. Just as education, technology has also helped to change the outlook of individuals with respect to gender discrimination. With the advent of new ICTs, the internet and mobile phones in particular, have transformed the timespace discrimination. It has not only been effective in economic, social and political spheres of various societies, but also helped the marginalized groups to become more democratic and inclusive in the mainstream. Hence, it has provided a new identity and voice to the individuals irrespective of their social or economic status. Gender Sensitization can be incorporated in classrooms by the teachers while interacting with the students. It would promote equality amongst the students and broaden their vision too. To conclude, empowerment has many synonyms and meanings. Human empowerment dwells in identifying one’s potentials, striving towards one’s goals effortlessly and achieving the set goals.

Keywords

Gender Empowerment, Gender sensitization, equality, inclusive.
