Sensitizing The Most Sensitive One's..!!

                                         

              Sensitizing The Most Sensitive One's..!!



In the modern times of today, for the better upbringing of Children and to have a comfortable lifestyle, both parents working is a common scenario. With the most of the nuclear families prevalent today, mostly the kids are alone at home, surrounded by various kind of threats. Under such circumstances, its really hard to decide upon who is trustworthy and who is not. Also need not to mention that most of the times, its our own people involved in doing wrong or damaging the most vulnerable i.e. our children.




Situations are so bad that the toddlers or the young children do not even get to understand or realize that their very own relatives or known ones, who pretend to love them the most, can prove to be the most harmful. With such devils as a part of our society, for whom these innocent children are just nothing more than sex toys, then why is that, topics like gender sensitization, adolescent problems and sex education, still not very openly discussed and talked about by the parents with their children or are till date preferred not to be imparted awareness even in schools?











One of the reasons for this inhibition may be our orthodox views for which we keep waiting for the right age of our children, when they will be able to understand well and even we as Parents or Teachers would also not have to stretch much beyond our comfort zone in explaining it to them.




But then what needs to be realized utmost is that a criminal mind would never wait for your right time.  Hence till the time almost every child even in their initial formative years is made aware of “Good Touch” & “Bad Touch” and the difference between the two, such criminals may keep exploiting our innocent children.













Under such critical times, “The Transformers Value Creators”, the No. 1 Life Skills Training Organisation of  the Tricity, as a part of their social responsibility, has taken up an awareness drive against to promote Children Safety with the prime objectives to impart awareness on:

1. Difference between Sex and Gender and related Guidance
2. Respect & recognition for both the genders.
3. Awareness against child abuse.
4. Difference between a good touch & bad touch.
5. Necessary preventive measures to avoid child abuse.
6. Understanding and addressing of various problems related to Adolescents.










With the prime objective to create a more sensitive and safe society for our future generations, i.e. our children, very interactive and participative sessions are being conducted across the various schools in the tricity along with in the interiors of Punjab and Haryana. Separate sessions are designed and executed as per the age and level of understanding of the students, which are further backed up with various animated videos, real life stories and colorful presentations.

  Unleashing the Real Strength of Woman of Haryana
 
In Haryana, there are only 830 girls against every 1000 boys. Stop for a moment and think? Why this ratio is dwindling from the normal. Due to the societal stigma and orthodox values, various illegal practices are adopted, to eliminate the girl child from the society even before she is born. The practices of gender biased sex selection are the root cause for discrimination and violence against girls.

The adverse effect of this discrimination is so strong that the girls, who are fortunate to receive this gift of life, are still not respected and are kept devoid of the basic right to education, career and self awareness.













So as to explore and experience the real image of female in Haryana, we organised a workshop at Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila Vishwavidyalaya in district Sonepat, the only and the largest female university in Northern India. Nearly 100 + female participants both from under graduate and post graduate levels were made to attend this 5 days residential workshop on Women Leadership for Nation Building.

 The workshop started with an inaugural ceremony in the benign presence of, The Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General (Economic and Social Development), Mr Deodat Maharaj. He addreesed the inaugural ceremony with the most meaningful opening note that “Real women don’t have flushes, they have power surges”. Deodar Maharaj talked about the rights of women’s and then he shared his experience about the women’s exposure and status not only in India only but in foreign countries as well.

 

Our main motive was to make these female participants aware of the real strength of a woman and to boost up their confidence and morale. We further strengthened upon their inbuilt leadership skills through capacity building and by providing them ample opportunities for systematic learning. Students were also provided many opportunities to explore their real potential and make them aware about women rights, so as to enable then to take a stand for their decisions.

 

















Students were actively involved in various Team Building Activities so as to help them overcome inhibition build up their confidence and develop trust in each other. Sessions were made entertaining through music, dance, role play, games and creativity involving maximum participation. As a result of which soon most of the participants started expressing themselves to the fullest and became friendly with each other and with the facilitators too.



 

As a part of the residential workshop, students were taken for Group Outing and further inspired with Various Motivational Movies and were also made to organise and participate in a Cultural Event.


Building upon their inner strength and making them more independent so as to help them stand strong against problem situations or tough times, a special awareness session involving various strategies of self defence was also conducted.


 

The impact of this 5 days workshop was felt and realised so strongly that the students became much more self aware, confident and realized the need for the change.

 

The final outcome could be witnessed by the self commitment of the participants to be the change, bring about the change and eventually lead the change.

Importance of Gender Sensitization

The Transformers Value Creators








Importance of Gender Sensitization

Gender Sensitization is one basic requirement for the normal development of an individual. Without being sensitive to the needs of a particular gender, an individual may refrain from understanding the opposite gender and in some acute cases even him or herself. The need for this sensitivity has been felt and realised through times immemorial and in almost all kinds of human existence, across the globe.

But somehow in the recent times, a much stronger need is felt and realized to talk and discuss about this sensitive topic both on a Personal and Professional front.









Particularly in a country like India, with the vast diversity existing in terms of its customs, traditions, rituals, social values, family beliefs and individual perception, the need for a More Systematic, Well Planned and More Professional Approach is desired to inculcate this sensitivity and primarily highlight the contribution of both the genders in creation and development of a well balanced society.














To overcome the various disparities existing in lieu of gender equality the following aspects have to be developed:
1.     Individuals need to be more open-minded, rational and unbiased in their thoughts and actions.
2.     There is an urgent need to shatter the load of our Orthodox Beliefs and Biased  Values to accentuate the Progressive Existence of both the genders.
3.  Better reconciliation of work and private life for both women and men is essential to gender equality.












4.     There is a need to provide steps to safeguard women's safety and for men to be assured that such measures are not an indication of discrimination against the male population.
5.     Training and awareness-raising in educational set- up, at workplace and in society can eliminate gender-based prejudice and thereby change stereotyped working cultures as regards to the roles and abilities of women and men, including attitude towards women in leadership positions.












6.      Better knowledge and understanding of gender issues at all levels of society, including communication activities, role plays, dramas, documentaries, various other audio visual aids will raise awareness among both stakeholders and the general public.
7.     Both the genders need to take stand at their own level, to support and promote the upliftment and wellness of their own and the opposite gender, so as to overcome any sort of differentiation or harassment.











Surely both the Genders are a Creation of Nature and equally essential for the Sustainable Development of any Society. Any sort of gap or inequality w.r.t. the survival rate, individual count, literacy, health, safety, respect and freedom will damage the sanctity and the authentication of human existence.

Based upon all the above mentioned facts a continual effort is being put in this direction of creating a more sensitive, vigilant and respectful society, by “The Transformers Value Creators”, the No. 1 Life Skills Training Organisation (in the Tricity of Chandigarh, Panchkula & Mohali), working at both Organisational & Institutional Level across PAN India & having trained and counseled 20000+ individuals from Toddlers to Professionals.


To practically achieve this mission of imparting maximum awareness, various Participative and Interactive Sessions on ‘Gender Sensitization’have been facilitated by the team ‘The Transformers’ for some of the most Vibrant and Dynamic Professionals from different parts of the country and at various locations across Pan India.








To make these kind of sessions all the more effective and to justify their importance, the participants were involved in various mimes, followed by discussion on various facts and myths related to various Gender Issues.


The topic is further authenticated through the use of specific and most relevant audio visual aids. All the Innovation used in presenting and narrating this sensitive topic actually proves to be an Eye-opener. In totality it is an Enjoyable & Practical Learning Experience for all the Elite Participants.
