SEX AND GENDER – The difference that makes a difference.: Husnaa Baig

The very difference between sex and gender is still not clear to many. Sex is something you are born with , it’s biological ; while gender on the other hand is something that you make, probably also influenced by the society, but something in your mind of how you yourself want to live your life.

After almost 19 centuries gone, we still live in this “male dominant’ society .We the youth, day in day out, happen to see this inequality to a remarkable extent but not quite take a stand. Today with this extra ordinary interactive workshop with Mrs. Preeti Das, every single person in the room took up things they never thought of. Things that will help everyone to make their bit count.

In today’s era, though at the back of their mind, everyone is aware of the situation but the thread to connect to the masses is cut down; by the media, films, society. The leading newsletter shows the real picture of inequality without even considering the importance of change, extremely required. Films on that also make the female protagonist mostly revolving around the male.

There is still this ray of hope, trying to penetrate through people; eager to take a stand. There has been a change with female weight lifters, CEO’s, doctors, engineers, coming up to stand against.

IT’S BECAUSE WE CAN!
