Gender and Power Dynamics

Gender and power dynamics refer to how societal roles and expectations influence relationships and hierarchies between genders. These dynamics often shape access to opportunities, authority, and resources, with historical and cultural factors often favoring one gender over another. For example, in some contexts, men may hold more leadership roles, while women may face barriers to decision-making or equality. Understanding these dynamics helps in recognizing inequalities and working toward more equitable, respectful interactions where everyone's rights and contributions are valued regardless of gender.
