Gender sensitization refers to the modification of behavior by raising awareness of gender equality concerns. So in D.Y.Patil School of Ayurvedaa we are arranging Gender Sensitization awareness programs , workshops, PPT competition on Gender awareness & equality for B.A.M.S students.

Gender sensitization theories claim that modification of the behavior of teachers and parents (etc.) towards children and students can have a causal effect on gender equality.
