Reinterpretation Of Indigenous Gender Roles In The Contemporary Society

Abstract

The study "Reinterpretation of Indigenous Gender Roles in Contemporary Society" seeks to examine the evolution of gender roles in indigenous societies, emphasising the impact of education and human rights rhetoric. This study aims to evaluate the opinions of indigenous adolescents and elders about changing gender norms, as well as the influence of activism and media in transforming these narratives. The study is based on three hypotheses: the crucial impact of education and human rights on the alteration of gender roles, the divergent attitudes between young and elders, and the effect of activists and media in advancing gender equality. The study uses a mixed-method approach, and it was conducted in the Delhi NCR area, focussing on a sample of 200 indigenous persons selected by stratified random selection. The data collection includes both primary and secondary sources, analysed using statistical tools such as MS Excel and SPSS, and methods like paired samples t-test and regression analysis.
