Abstract

Gender diversity means understanding that the sex that an individual was assigned at the time of birth, usually based on a combination of factors including intersex and sex factors: chromosomes, hormones, primary and secondary sex characteristics including internal and external organs. It is an attempt to rectify unfair treatment toward certain members of the society when the total pool of males and females are overly represented in a given population. Diversity should challenge people to not only be tolerant of others, but to try to learn from them. Each Individual brings diverse perspective, work experience, life style and culture and the strength of diversity is of course a source and driver of innovation, diversity is a “big idea” in University and in the community. Gender diversity in the Catholic University Institute of Buea (CUIB) will help the internal stakeholders i.e. faculty, staff and students to experience and learn from their peers in a way that they have never encountered before as a result of this gender diversity.
