What Are Gender Stereotypes and Roles?

Описание: A gender role is a set of behaviours and attitudes considered by society to be ‘acceptable’ or ‘desirable’ for our sex, or gender. It includes how we’re expected to act, speak, dress, groom, etc. Gender role expectations can vary depending on the society, culture and ethnic group and can also vary over time, it can feel like our lives are mapped out with society telling us what we should like. Gender roles can lead to harmful gender stereotypes about how girls and boys should act, look and feel. Stereotypes are ideas about how we will act based on the group we belong to.

In order to fully understand the impact of gender stereotyping, we need to understand what gender identity is and how it relates to our biological sex. None of these should determine what you can or can’t do. To support girls, we’ve created our #LikeAGirl movement. By working together, we aim at destroying stereotypes and showing the world what being a girl or woman really means: https://www.always.co.uk/en-gb/about-...
