The present study studying the effectiveness of a gender-sensitization module aimed at reducing the sexist concepts and thoughts of teenage male and female college students. A pre-test-post-test control group design was used for this purpose with a sample of 85 junior college students from Pune city.

Data was analyzed using non-parametric tests, which showed a significant decrement in the scores of the experimental group, establishing the effectiveness of the program.
