The panel discussion commenced with the members on the dais introducing themselves and their stand on Gender representation in brief. The topic was taken ahead by throwing light on stereotyping, gender behaviours, gender roles and how it affects the mentality of people in reel and real life. This nature brought by stereotyping to the audience by way of the media, sets certain notions relating to gender behaviours.
At the end of the panel discussion, few questions from the students were addressed and this short yet informative event expanded our horizons on Gender Representation.
