ATTITUDE OF B.Ed. TRAINEES TOWARDS GENDER DISCRIMINATION, GENDER SENSITIVITY AND GENDER STEREOTYPES IN MYSORE CITY.

Dr. Shahtaj Begum, Sumathi S

Abstract :

Education has the inbuilt potential of initiating social change in the context of gender relations. Therefore, conscious and pluralistic interventions have been put forward by the Government of India to address gender equality in education. Education is the key factor in overcoming the barriers that women face and the basic tool for empowering women and inging them into the main stream of the development. Moreover educated women can play an equally important role as men in nation building. Empowerment is the process that creates power in individuals over their own lives, society, and in their communities. As Swami Vivekananda said, “There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved”. Women‘s empowerment is all about equipping and raising the status of women through education, raising awareness, literacy, and training and allowing women to make life–determining decisions through the different problems in society.
