Abstract
Gender is a social attribute regarding beliefs and ways of thinking about roles, rights, and responsibilities related to the formation of one's character in creating power in the social environment. In the social environment, the role of gender is very important because it involves society's assessment of men and women in making boundaries that underlie responsibilities and powers based on norms and values in society. Sexuality is also related to knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, values, and behaviors of individuals who are influenced by psychological, social, environmental, religious, educational, and prevailing norms.
