Gender and Design

Gender and design explore how societal ideas about masculinity, femininity, and other gender identities influence the way products, spaces, and experiences are created. It involves understanding that design choices can reinforce or challenge stereotypes, aiming to create more inclusive environments that respect diverse identities. For example, designing toys, clothing, or workspaces with awareness of gender differences promotes equality and comfort. Overall, it’s about making design mindful of gender diversity to ensure everyone feels represented, valued, and comfortable.
