The Centre for Gender Studies and Women Development was established as a research and activity-based Centre, created to promote awareness on gender issues in order to sensitize the society and advocate for equality and equity. It is also meant to serve as a medium of comprehensive research in gender issues. Gender generally refers to both the male and female sex but emphasis would be more in the female sex because they are more vulnerable in the society. This means that the Centre would serve as a vanguard to initiate research scholars and development workers on mainstreaming gender in policy, planning and implementation that have direct and indirect impact on development in Edo State and Nigeria in general. The activities of the Centre would include research and organization of trainings/workshops among others.
Women’s Studies and/or development emerged as part of a broader process of the critical evaluation of issues that structured the way women lived their everyday lives. Issues of violence, communalization of society, rampant caste discrimination, female foeticide and infanticide, sexual harassment, illegal migration, lower female work participation rates, ill effects of globalization, maternal mortality, political discrimination and many more are not just real issues that affect women, but they define the very world of education that Women’s Studies is a part of.
Vision:
A world free of gender biases where men and women are gender sensitive and embrace equality and equity.
Mission:
To improve the lives of men and women through gender-based research, training and support for gender sensitive programs that would harness gender and women development cum entrepreneurship practice.
