Human Resource Officers (HROs) and Managers in the various government and other agencies are being trained to serve as focal points for Gender Affairs.
The training by the Ministry of Social Protection at its office in Cornhill Street is in keeping with the Government’s strategy of achieving gender equality in the workplace, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
Manager of the Gender Affairs Bureau, Adel Lilly said “What we will do is to clarify and have a discussion on the concept of gender. We will talk about what is gender, what is sex, what are the other paradigms, we will discuss stereotypes in Guyana and then we will look at gender mainstreaming… this will be very important for planners and persons who work in senior management positions within the different ministries.”
