Discussion
Assertion (A) : Gender sensitive professional social workers have better understanding of Gender Specific Issues.
Reason (R) : Professional social workers understand gender as a social construct which differentiates men and women in terms of their positions in the society.
Answer: B
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion. Gender is a social construct: it describes the roles, positions and expectations a society attaches to men and women, as opposed to biological sex. A social worker who understands this can see how unequal positions create specific problems such as discrimination, violence and unequal access to resources, and so understands gender-specific issues better. That is why option B is right. Options A, C and D each call at least one statement wrong, but both statements hold in standard social work teaching.
