The Gender Divide
Men and women have different gender roles in society. Recognizing the gender differences in a community is an essential first step when doing international development work. What resources do women control? What resources do men control? Who has access to resources? These are all important questions. One way to find the answers to these questions — and understand a community is through the use of a community map. In this activity, students take part in a role playing exercise to develop a community map from their gender’s perspectives. The different roles of men and women are explored in terms of social and environmental implications.
