The Rationale

The Rationale

The justification for offering the programme to women only lies in the need to bridge the existing gap between men and women managers in the system. The conceptual content of the programme may be common for both genders but the interpretations given to concepts in an all women group may have a different emphasis when discussed from the gender perspective. A women only activity often facilitates a dialogue on issues, that might not have been discussed in mixed groups as women are reluctant/hesitant to discuss professional insecurities with men for fear of being regarded as incapable.
