The Kishoris (Adolescent Girls) from Manori were led through a Training on Gender with a focus on Discovering the value of their 'Gender' on the 21st September, 2015 at Savdhaan Social Center, Manori.
The twenty one Kishoris were led to deepen their analysis of 'Gender Discrimination' as experienced in society by Ms. Shilpa Keshlekar the Resource Person. She spoke citing examples on how the term 'gender discrimination', which means 'discrimination on the basis of one's gender' does not actually define the term in the real sense. She went on to spell the many factors causing gender discrimination, the first being society itself as it ascribes specific behaviour patterns to males and females. The other factors that influence gender forced inequalities includes religion, caste, culture, race and also education. If a woman comes from a lower income group equal status is not given to her.
In this context as the Kishoris got involved in group discussion and sharing their experiences, it was indeed positive to note that not a single Kishori present felt that she had ever been discriminated against in her life, in terms of being rich or poor, upper or lower income group or coming from the rural background. However they agreed that discrimination and inequalities existed in society.
