摘要：Despite the gains India has made over the past 20 years, it remains
a country with significant gender inequalities. Gender sensitization and
empowerment programs during adolescence, when gender attitudes are
formed, have the potential to diminish gender inequity. The Girl rising
‘Gender-sensitization program’ was implemented in 254 schools in India
to support adolescents in identifying, articulating, and sharing their
gender-related experiences. A quasi-experimental study was conducted
with a one group pre- and post-test with a sub-sample of schools in rural
Punjab and Rajasthan, India (n = 2,894 adolescents). Multivariable regression
analyses adjusting for gender, grade, and district found that gender
equality scores increased by 0.66 points (p < .001), gender roles/privileges/restrictions
mean score increased by 0.41 points (p < .001), and
gender attribute mean score increased by 0.17 points (p < .001). Gendersensitization
programs can play an important role in forming and changing
gender attitudes during adolescence, and have the potential to
alter their short and long-term beliefs.
