Are you looking at your decisions as a Choice or an Obligation? Part 3 of the Gender Roles Series

By Sangeeta Maheshwari

Norms and Traditions

Most of us grow up learning what we can do based on our gender. These "traditions" or belief system can be harmful to us since it prohibits women and men's capacity to pursue their professional careers, enhance their abilities, and make choices about their lives.

Breaking out of the box

These limitations cannot be changed overnight, but you can start with yourself, with your generation. You can help to stop the cycle of gender roles by educating other people that it is okay to do things that will make you happy regardless of your gender as long it is not harmful to others. It starts with you. Continue to teach the future generations that being a male or a female does not hinder you from doing what makes you happy.

We are running a series of videos on Q&A on Gender Roles to create more awareness on how we are living unconsciously with some obsolete beliefs that are not serving us in today's era. We look forward to your feedback and support on spreading this shift to make our current and future generation more empowered and accepting. Let us together build back this world into a more happier place to live.
