GENDER,SOCIAL DIVERSITY,EQUITY AND PUBLIC POLICY

One of the major challenges confronting public policy in modern times is how to overcome overt and subtle discrimination in the art of governance, economic growth and development. Among the several pathways to the realisation of this goal, the pursuit of tolerance of social diversity and the eradication of exploitation of one group by others remains a major focus. Understanding the political and civil rights of different social classes, as well as their economic, social and cultural rights provide the basis for the course on Gender,Social Diversity, Equity and Public Policy.
