GENDER
Gender is like the roles and expectations people have based on whether they are a boy or a girl, but it's not just about being
a boy or a girl. Some people feel like they're a different gender than what they were said to be when they were born. They
might be a boy but feel like a girl or vice versa, or they might feel like they're both or neither. How people look and act, like
the clothes they wear or the way they talk, can also be different from what you might expect based on their gender. It's
important to understand and respect how each person feels and identifies, even if it's different from what you're used to, so
that everyone can be themselves and be treated fairly.
EXAMPLE
Men are defenders
Men are leaders
Women are emotional
POWER
Power is like having control or influence over things or people. It can be having the ability to make decisions, give orders, or
make things happen. Sometimes, people have power because of their job or position, like a boss at work or a leader in a
group. But power can also come from knowledge, money, or support from others. Having power means you can make things
happen the way you want, and it can be used in both good and not-so-good ways. It's important that people who have
power use it responsibly and fairly to help others and make the world a better place.
EXAMPLE
a woman who is a manager at work has power over her team, but she may not have the same level of power at home with
her husband.

decision-making, ultimately fostering healthier and more equal family dynamics
Gender and Power role in society

opportunities based on gender identities. Historically, patriarchal norms have perpetuated power imbalances where men

imbalances have contributed to gender discrimination, unequal cess to resources, and limited representation of women and
gender-diverse edividuals in leadership positions
