Shristi Shakya Enlightens Students About Sex and Gender in Nepal – Women Deliver

Shristi Shakya (Class of 2018) successfully conducted workshops with students in grades 9 and 10 to provide a better understanding on the distinction between “sex” and “gender” and introduced students to LGBTQ issues, gender roles, gender stereotypes, and gender-based violence. Thanks to the workshops, these youth now possess a deeper understanding of these issues, and are more aware of gender stereotypes in their communities.
