Ambience Public School, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi sensitized
the senior students towards Gender Stereotypes that pervade in our life and
society.
The activity was a part of collaborative project with University
Senior High School, Los Angeles, USA. The aim was to create a learning
experience for students through various pedagogical practices. While doing this the students explored the
causes of gender discrimination and stereotypes that exist in our lives and thereafter
reflected on the need for gender sensitization, finally leading way to gender
equality for a better future.
The students put forth
their findings on the issue, through the power point presentations. The session
educated the other students on the various aspects of gender disparity, gender
constructs, leading to Gender Stereotypes and gender scripts resulting in
discrimination and prejudice. The Vice Principal and Project Coordinator Mrs.
Anuradha Rai in her interaction with the students said that such discrimination
is responsible for many ills in our society. In her interaction with the
students, the Principal Mrs. Jeanie Aibara cautioned them of vicious circle of
Gender prejudices and biases that pass over from one generation to another and
harms it does to the society.
