Question

speech on eradication of gender discrimination

Answer 1

In India, discriminatory attitude towards men and women has existed for generations and affects the lives of both genders. Although the constitution of India has granted men and women equal rights, gender disparity still remains. Gender discrimination violates not only human rights but also fundamental rights. Rights are given to all human beings not only for men but also for women. These are mostly seen in family land sharing among sisters and brothers.

There is specific research on gender discrimination mostly in favour of men over women.[1] Women are perceived to be disadvantaged at work.[2] Indian laws on rape, dowry and adultery have women's safety at heart, but these highly discriminatory practices are still taking place at an alarming rate.

Gender inequality is differentiation between people due to gender. Individual can be either of masculine or feminine gender. Since ages there has been perception towards genders depending on their sexes, strengths, capacity and capability to do a certain task. Inequalities are majorly displayed at commercial workplaces and home.

At home, parents are responsible for this. It's demonstrated in various ways. At workplaces women are paid less, seen as a play material, helpless, depending on male subordinates and being vulnerable to them.

This leads society towards backwardness with orthodox views. Today's youth can help eradicate this by -

Offering high level education

Social integration

Increasing women employment

Involving them in active politics and social activities

Arranging social protection programmes

Generating awareness among parents

Giving scholarships to girls

Gender inequality means to discriminate between a girl and a boy. Girls by birth are given less rights in the society and boys are given unnecessary rights. Today, even educated people are practising gender inequality.

We as youths can try to create awareness among people to stop gender inequality. We can show charts, graphs etc in which girls are doing better than boys.

Girls-women are proving themselves better in each and every arena. Our President is a woman; many of the ministers are women. Some of the women are housewives, but they do their work 24/7 and 365 days without taking any holiday.

As awakened youths of progressing India, we can do our part in following:

Creating awareness for gender equality in our villages, cities, nearby areas, society etc.
