Question

Write a note on gender inequality around us?

Answer 1

Answer:

Society created the concept of gender. Nature determines the biological boundaries between genders. Gender inequality in India is a complicated and varied reality that expresses itself in a variety of methods, fields, and social classes. Gender equality and women’s empowerment have been clearly recognized as critical to the nation’s social and economic progress throughout the last decade.

• In the early Vedic age, girls were looked after with care.
• In many parts of India, women are viewed as an economic liability despite contribution in several ways to our society and economy. The crime graph against women is increasing at an alarming rate.
• At home, the woman’s contribution towards home as a housewife is not recognized.
• The major reasons for this inequality are identified as the need for a male heir for the family, huge dowry, continued financial support to a girl child, poverty, domestic violence, farming as a major job for the poor and the caste system.
• The discriminative socialization process is another aspect of inequality towards women which leads to customary practices, more involvement in household activities only, boys not allowed, restricted to play, isolation, separation in schools and public places and restrictions to move freely.
