To ensure a gender neutral society: IIC conducts a seminar in collaboration with Gender Sensitisation Cell

“The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn’t have the weight of gender expectations.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists.

The Institution's Innovation Council (IIC) in collaboration with the Gender Sensitisation Cell organised an awareness programme on 'Gender Equality and Freedom of Trade and Occupation' on April 7, 2023. Krishna Ghosh, Assistant Professor, Department of Law, Brainware University made a presentation on gender equality. Amrita Dasgupta, Assistant Professor, Department of Law, also highlighted the equality of genders in his speech.

Gender equality in India is the goal, while gender neutrality and gender equities are the practices and ways of thinking that help achieve the goal. Gender parity is used to measure gender balance in a given situation that can help achieve gender equality but is not the aim.
