Basic Gender and Development Concepts (Oct. 9, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 PM)

Understand Gender Bias. Change Behavior. Build Better Workplaces.

In the Philippines, gender bias silently shapes our workplaces, families, and communities. You see it daily—in hiring decisions, wage gaps, leadership roles, even casual conversations. But most of us don’t recognize it.

This 1.5 hours course changes that. You’ll learn:

• The difference between sex and gender (and why it matters)
• How gender roles create unconscious bias
• Real manifestations: stereotyping, marginalization, subordination, and violence
• Practical steps to be gender-sensitive in your daily work
• Real Philippine workplace scenarios and how to respond

What you’ll gain:
✓ Define and distinguish between sex and gender
✓ Recognize gender roles and bias in Philippine contexts
✓ Identify manifestations of gender bias in your workplace/community
✓ Apply gender-sensitive perspective, mindset, and outlook
✓ Commit to concrete behavior changes in how you interact with others

Time commitment: 30 mins self paced + 1.5 hrs group discussion session (real scenarios, peer learning, Q&A)

Workshop Date and Time: October 9, 2026 (6:00 PM – 7:30 PM [Philippine Time])
