At UrbanSitter, we have
seen an increase in the
number of male sitter
profiles in the last few
years. Many of them are
students looking to support
their education and with
the cost of college
continuing to rise, we’re
likely to see more men
turning to babysitting jobs
for extra income.
Men can do babysitting!

Research shows it's wives
hitting the bottle (not
husbands) that is leading to as
many as 1 in 7 marriage break-
ups.
Women can be drunkards too!

Women are good workers!

Culture’s view of male
crying has continued to
evolve into our day. While
we still expect men to cry
less than women, in some
cases it has now become
more acceptable for a man
to cry than a woman, at
least when it comes to our
public officials.
It’s okey for men to cry!

PUNCHING PRINCESS. Josie
Gabuco, shown here

Because of

greater value.

FRAMEWORK
GENDER FAIR SOCIETY
Gender Equality/Gender Fair- Society
Gender equality is achieved when

women and men enjoy the same
rights and opportunities
across all sectors of society, including economic
participation and decision-making, and when
the different behaviours, aspirations and needs
of women and men are equally valued and
favoured.
GENDER-FAIR SOCIETY?
GENDER SENSITIVITY
tries to ensure that people rely less on
assumptions about traditional and outdated
views on the roles of men and women.
Modify Behaviours to Raise Awareness

of Gender Equality Concerns
How Gender-Sensitive Are YOU?
GENDER SENSITIVITY
Can be achieved by conducting various

sensitization campaigns, trainings centres,
workshop, programs, etc.
Therefor, let’s plan for more gender-
sensitive Program, Projects and Activities.
