Question

Short speech on gender discrimination

Answer 1

It is paradox of our Indian society, that on one side we worship the women Goddesses and on the other we meet out sub-human treatment to the women. In Indian society the position of the women has been always looked as less important than the male person.Since the time of Ramayana and Mahabharata women have always been easy victims of gender-based discrimination.

Though after independence, women are becoming more self-reliant but still the problem of aggression against women by powerful continues, only mode of such aggression or discrimination has changed to some extent.

Gender bias is widely prevalent throughout women’s life span. Indian women have become an easy prey for discrimination and aggression based on gender.

It is observed that gender based discrimination is started by the family members from the time of birth. A female child does not usually receive the same attention and affection that is bestowed upon a male child in Indian families. A boy arrives to the sound of joyous conch shells and girl’s birth in many parts of the country is greeted with silence, even sorrow.

A woman is still considered a burdensome appendage. Girls are treated as economic drain. She must be exploited or dispensed with a non-person because she crushes her family with marriage and dowry expenses.

The problems of major importance for women are linked with families, especially problem of discrimination and aggression for women are linked with marriage. Various issues like age at marriage, procedures for contracting and. executing marriage, customs of dowry and bride-wealth; divorce, separation, widowhood and female-foeticide and female infanticide and remarriage speak about the status of women.

Answer 2

Answer:

In our society, the birth of a boy is welcomed whereas birth of girls are considered to

be a curse. It is the most horrifying fact that the girls are even killed in foetus. The

reason for this discrimination is the patriarchal structure of our society. Parents hold the

view that it is of no use to spend on the girls’ education as they would be married off to

another family. The boy is considered to be a future earning member and is therefore,

sent to good school and college to obtain higher education.

Girls, on the other hand, are groomed in a way to learn the household chores. They are

either deprived of education or are provided only limited education. This disparity can

be seen in the matters related to food, health and freedom also.

People must understand that educating a girl means educating the whole family. Hence,

efforts must be made to empower the girls. Although the things are changing now, yet

much more has to be done. Government’s flagship scheme ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’

and the significant role played by various NGOs are a testimony to the fact.
