Social construction of gender difference

A gender role can be defined as a set of social and behavioral norms that are generally considered appropriate for either a man or a woman in a social or interpersonal relationship.

Universities as centres for knowledge creation and
dissemination are conceived as a democratising space which
should enable both female and male staff and students to
realise their full potential. However, complaints of sexual
harassment are believed to be rampant in many Nigerian and
African universities. They are deeply troubling and constitute a
violation of human rights and academic freedom. Sexual
harassment dampens self esteem, hampers social interactions
and discourages other students. It is a form of corruption. The
Nigerian Government and Non Governmental Organisations
like Women Against Rape and Sexual Harassment and
Exploitation have attempted at various times to curtail sexual
harassment.
The University of Ibadan, in line with its commitment to

and maintain a working and learning environment that reflects
respect for the dignity of all members of our community,
thereby stimulating and supporting an environment free of
sexual harassment and gender-based violence.

Also, several signs, which hitherto had been absent, were present restricting their cherished freedom. Most of them did not voice out their reservations against this. They were, however, eloquent in their silence.


THE Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Samuel Odulana and former Minister of Power and Steel, Elder Wole Oyelese have called on the Federal Government to declare Ibadan, the Oyo State capital a disaster zone.  The monarch and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain made the call yesterday in their response to the havoc caused by the flood which swept across the city..  The Otun Olubadan, Chief Omowale Kuye, who spoke on behalf of the Olubadan-in-Council during an on-the-spot assessment of the damage at Apete in the city said the declaration would pave the way for the reconstruction to put Ibadan back on its feet.
