According to Sharma (2014), the word gender sensitivity, also synonymous with gender sensitisation is the modification of behaviour through awareness of gender equality concerns. Such an approach seems to have made topical headline in the global community, which is said to be achieved through various sensitisation endeavours like campaigns, training and workshops led by both national and international institutions across the world. Kutateladze (2015) provided a linguistic approach to the concept to mean the examination of the language and selection of forms, which are unbiased and neutral. This has thrown a more sensitive approach to the political correctness of the word, particularly in the public domain, where the presence of left-wingers / heterodox thinkers like feminists have sought to make their presence in ensuring empowerment towards gender equality is made a global concern. Reeves and Baden (2000: pp. 2 and 10) on the other hand, provided a dichotomy between the two synonymously used words "Gender Equity and Gender Equality"; in their definitions, 'gender equity' signify the equivalence in life outcomes for women and men, recognizing their different needs and interests, and requiring a redistribution of power and resources. While on the other hand, "gender equality" mean women availing equal opportunities in life as men, including the ability to participate in public fora. In these definitions, a dichotomy seems to have been drawn between the two concepts, thereby reflecting differing contemplation of gender issues, which thereby makes it possible for the addressing appropriate strategies as a way of addressing issues associated with SDG16.
