Gender sensitization is the teaching of gender sensitivity and encouragement of behaviour modification through raising awareness regarding the issues that concern gender equality and to encourage participants to pursue solutions. Rubaroo implements this by conducting various sensitization campaigns, training, workshops, programs, social media campaigns, etc. The aim of this programme is to instil empathy into the views that an individual holds about their own and the other gender. It helps people in "examining their personal attitudes and beliefs and questioning the 'realities' they thought they knew."
