Salam everyone.

I am reading Amanullah Gondal’s book for Gender Studies. As far as I can deduce is that the author of this book himself is not so clear as to what differentiates Gender from Women studies. Eventually I ended up searching this topic on the internet. But there again some explanations are so vague. I request senior aspirants specially those who have hands on experience with this subject to guide me in this matter.

Thank you.

Gender Studies is a field of study that looks at the world from the perspective of gender. It emphasis take any policy and decision making whether local, national, international under the lens of gender sensitivity because the world is gendered so each policy, decision, and doctrine affects each gender differently.so that, implementation of gender tools is imperative for the development of the world. ( this approach come in under spotlight in 190s when world leaders embarked on the development project, for instance, need of was empowerment answered by feminists real is the empowerment of half of the world population (3.5 billion), who cover half of the sky but still remain excluded in decision making.


Women's Studies is an academic interdisciplinary field devoted to study how historical patriarchy and gender bias has been shaping knowledge system economic, social and political order of the world and how and why women remain invisible .(women women's studies was born in the late 1960s and first Women's Studies course was held in 1969 at Cornell University).

Thank you for the response. Could you please share the books, online sources that you are preparing from?

Unfortunately, so far I am unable to find a single sufficient source, but my strategy is to approach all available sources (online), filter which seems credible and try to grasp the meaning of a particular doctrine and development, and it works for me.
