Gender competence refers to the ability to understand, promote, and implement gender equity in different contexts. It is about having an understanding of how gender roles and stereotypes operate in different areas such as education, the workplace, the family, and society, and how to remove these barriers and create a more inclusive and equitable environment.
Gender competence also includes understanding and being sensitive to the diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations that exist in our society, and being able to treat people with respect regardless of their gender. It is important that people working in educational, social, or counseling professions acquire gender competence in order to do more equitable and inclusive work and meet the needs of all people.
