Handbook on Addressing Gender Stereotypes
This Handbook on Gender Stereotypes, launched by IDH and created by Sakshi, is a vital resource that addresses gender-based violence (GBV) through practical solutions and collaborative efforts. This handbook reflects IDH's commitment to creating inclusive and sustainable markets. By bringing diverse stakeholders across global value chains, IDH aims to foster shared visions for sustainable trade that promote gender equality and empower communities.
The purpose of creating a handbook on gender stereotypes is to raise awareness about their impact on individuals and society while providing practical tools for identifying and challenging these stereotypes. It aims to promote inclusivity by encouraging respect for all gender identities and expressions.
Additionally, the handbook will guide organizations in developing policies that foster equality and non-discrimination. It enables individuals to become allies in the fight against gender stereotypes and is a valuable resource for advocates working toward gender equality. Ultimately, the handbook empowers readers to contribute to a more equitable society actively.
While all can refer to the handbook, it is primarily aimed at sector representatives, value chain representatives, and sustainability leads from their respective industries. This focus ensures the content resonates with those who can drive meaningful change.
Designed as a practical, easy-to-refer document, the Gender Stereotype Handbook will be a valuable resource for CEOs, Sustainability Managers, HR professionals, and all leads within the value chain. The handbook's comprehensive content equips individuals to recognize and challenge gender-based stereotypes in everyday interactions, promoting awareness of the negative impacts these stereotypes have on personal and professional growth, and fostering an inclusive environment that supports gender equality.
