Explanation:
Discrimination is the act of making distinctions between human beings based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they are perceived to belong. People may discriminate on the basis of age, caste, criminal record, height, weight, physical appearance, disability, family status, gender identity, gender expression, generation, genetic characteristics, marital status, nationality, profession, color, race and ethnicity, religion, sex and sex characteristics, sexual orientation, political ideology, social class, personality, as well as other categories. Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are treated "in a way which is worse than the way people are usually treated," on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories.[1] It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction going on to influence the individual's actual behavior towards the group's leader or the group, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on illogical or irrational decision-making.[2]
Discrimination against girls in India has several sociological impacts. Debates surrounding the issue question the role of female children and seek to define their human rights, especially with the nearly universal consensus on the need for gender equality.Often in these communities, women, in particular, are considered an inferior sex and are raised to accept this belief. Nearly 80% of the girls drop out from standards I to V. Out of the 100 girls that enroll in the first year of school, only 42 reach class V. Among Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, many of those who live below poverty line. only 19 of the 100 girls reach class V. Many of these girls work in the unorganized sectors, such as the beedi industry, which is largely home based and made up of women and girls. The beedi sector represents the gender division of labor because most of the women and girls sitting at home do the beedi making, and boys are not involved in it.
