Changing gender roles
- Balancing sex roles
Description
Changing gender roles involves actively challenging and transforming traditional expectations and stereotypes associated with gender in social, economic, and political spheres. This strategy promotes equal opportunities, access, and participation for all genders by revising policies, practices, and cultural norms. Its practical intent is to remedy discrimination, reduce gender-based barriers, and foster inclusive environments, thereby enabling individuals to pursue roles and responsibilities based on ability and choice rather than prescribed gender norms.
Implementation
The trend in Asia is for many more women to work outside the home; they are educated, they become "breadwinners" and thus gain more respect from their husbands and families. As there is more recognition of women's work, both outside and inside the household, there is a balancing of women's roles outside the home with the man's role inside the home.
