Question

Write an Essay on “Gender Discrimination” in India (750 Words)

Answer 1

Females of our country have faced the discrimination for ages now and still continue to exist in various forms. Any denial of equality, gender and opportunity on the basis of gender is gender discrimination.

Nature doesn’t discriminate men from women. But women worldwide have been the victim of inequality not only in terms of social and political rights but also on grounds of employment opportunities.

The male dominant society of India makes its women habitual of this discrimination. As a result, most women fail to understand their own rights and freedom.Law and property rights are also enforced inefficiently and inheritance is usually the sole right of sons and not the daughters. Even though laws are now enforced for the rights of women on parental property, not many people are aware of it and the social structure is such that daughters do not usually insist on their property rights.

Society favors men and gives them higher authority and this makes women vulnerable to crimes like rapes, eve teasing, sexual abuse etc. Though the number of women officers is growing, yet the number is not comparable with men holding higher ranks.

The discrimination against women is not only hampering the growth of women at social, economic and personal level but also significantly lower female-to-male ratios impact the growth in both agriculture and industrial sectors. Thus, gender discrimination also impedes the country’s growth.

$\huge\mathcal\green{Gender \: Discrimination :}$

In Indian Civilisation, the child is believed to be a gift of god to be nurtured with love,care and affection in the family as well as in society. The sons are given preference over daughters. Sons are considered as a blessing. They earn income and are considered to be the caretakers of their parents in old age. A family without son is incomplete and has to undergo social embarrassment Women, on the other hand are pinpointed as a curse and burden. Some people think that to raise a girl child is just a wastage of time and money. In their views, only a man can be the head of the family. Women are here considered as secondary.

This mindset can be changed only by educating the female members of the society and empowering them to take their own decisions regarding education, marriage and their career. This will enable them to be independent and therefore will enhance the progress of the society as well as our nation.
