INTRODUCTION/
RATIONALE
Sex and gender are terms that are often used interchangeably but they are in fact two
different concepts, even though for many people their sex and gender are the same.
This article will clarify the differences between sex and gender and why these
differences are important to understand, especially in research and data collection.
How and why sex and gender is important for SDGs and the principle of “leave no one
behind” will be considered.
Look and analyze this picture below. How would these human beings
presented their selves in the society.
Societies across the world have experienced large-scale social change related to gender and
PRELIMINARY sexuality. For example, despite some intensification of homophobic attitudes and laws in a
number of countries, the global trend has been towards increasing legal rights for gay, lesbian
ACTIVITY
and bisexual people (Smith, 2011). Transgender issues continue to be a cultural battleground,
but a growing movement, connected through social networks, recognizes the importance of
combatting transphobia as a human rights issue. Experiences in other parts of the world are
radically diverse but too often marginalised in research in the global north.
When we think about gender and sexuality, we recognize these aspects not just as personal
characteristics that individuals maintain but as some of the multiple modes of power that stratify
and structure our social relationships. A focus on gender inequality, for example, that examines
how men and women interact problematically, must include an analysis of the institutionalized
and implicit ways in which some social groups are privileged over others. Similarly, a study of
sexuality is not limited to the experiences of sexual minorities but extends to the freedoms people
maintain to engage in sexual pleasure, and the ways in which social policy can both protect and
harm people, depending on the specific dynamics of sex, sexual desire and sexuality in any
society. While binary models of gender persist widely, there are ‘third gender’ exceptions, with
long (pre-colonial) histories, surviving in some locations and a contemporary re-assertion of
gender fluidity, particularly (but not exclusively) amongst young people.
