Question

Draw a chart Highlighting The various aspects of gender discrimination as a social evil

Answer 1

Answer:

The Human Race, which was largely Egalitarian during ‘Prehistoric Hunter Days’ transitioned to Patriarchy, which signifies Paternalistic Dominance and presupposes male supremacy over females.

It has persisted through centuries nurtured by male hegemony and come to stay ever since taking root long ago.

This phenomenon has witnessed persistent discrimination against women in every aspect of human life happening in more or less all societies throughout the time span of the evolutionary process of humankind. Male dominance is prevalent in almost all societies throughout the world today, and is conspicuous in varying degrees. It is vigorously manifested in societies that are predominantly subjected to the heavy-handed influence of religious fundamentalism.

Draconian and iron-fisted measures adopted by the Taliban and ISIS to keep women shut out from mainstream activities of society are a pertinent case in point, representing most ruthless and utmost extreme forms of gender based discrimination

Answer 2

Note on Gender Discrimination - A Social Evil :

Gender discrimination refers to the unpleasant behaviour towards an individual especially women. This evil can take place at homes, workplace, public places, institutes, etc. For example : in some work places, women are paid less and men are paid more. At homes, many families consider girl child as a burden. They do not send girl child to schools. Sometimes, the girl child gets aborted before they are born.

People should understand that all are equal on the basis of caste, gender or creed. All must be given equal importance. Women are still the victims of rapes, abuse, trafficking, violence, etc.

Gender discrimination must be stoped to make our nation a developed one. Government must take strict measures towards it.
