A Study on Gender Sensitivity Among Students of Bachelor of Arts of Kumaun University, Nainital

Gender sensitization is the process of changing the old beliefs in society that think men and women are not equal and should live in separate roles. It helps change how men and women see each other. When this happens, men start to recognize the work women do. Their pride in being better than women starts to fade, and they begin to support women in a good way. Because of this, people who are gender sensitive become important in improving the position of women. They take active steps to help women develop their skills and abilities. Even though India has made progress in the last 20 years, there are still big differences between men and women. Programs that teach gender sensitivity during adolescence, when people form their views about gender, can help reduce these differences. This paper looks at how sensitive students in the BA programme at Kumaun University are towards gender issues.
