2. INTRODUCTION
It is a form of unconscious bias, or implicit bias,
which occurs when one individual unconsciously
attributes certain attitudes and stereotypes to
another person or group of people. These
ascribed behaviors affect how the individual
understands and engages with others.
Gender Bias Is The Tendency To Prefer
One Gender Over Another.

MEANING OF GENDER BIAS
INCLINATION TOWARDS OR PREJUDICE AGAINST ONE GENDER.

5. DEFINITION:
Gender bias is behavior that shows favoritism toward
one gender over another. Most often, gender bias is the act of
favoring men and/or boys over women and/or girls.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Prejudice against people of a particular gender, usually
women. Gender bias may result in discriminatory treatment or unequal
opportunity.
Bias is a tendency to lean in a certain
direction, either in favor of or against
a particular thing. To be truly biased
means to lack a neutral viewpoint on
a particular topic.

8. Examples of Bias in Behavior:
If someone has a bias about women, they can take two
different approaches. If they're biased toward women, they
might hire only women because they feel they make better
employees for some gender-related reason. Conversely, if
they're biased against women, they might hire a man over a
more-qualified female candidate.

9. Biases toward certain religions can also manifest in
two different ways. If someone is biased toward their
own religion, they will think their beliefs and practices
are superior to any other form of religion. If, however,
they're biased against a certain religion, they might
show it by making rude or insensitive comments, or go
as far as vandalizing religious buildings.

10. How about same-sex couples? If someone is
biased toward same-sex couples, they might
choose to rent their home to them over a
heterosexual couple. If they're biased against
same-sex couples, they might discriminate against
them by refusing to rent to them.

11. If someone is biased toward a political affiliation, they
will tend to speak more positively of politicians
belonging to the same party. If that same person is biased
against a different political affiliation, he or she might
show their bias by quickly dismissing or disagreeing with
anyone who aligns with that opposing political view.

18. AVOID BIAS
Bias in personal and professional settings will
continue to muddy the waters until everyone
vows to operate with an open mind. We will
continue to see bias sprout up until people push
aside their preconceived notions and shine some
light on explanations from other people.

19. Women Sankhya, Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalaya, Laws
related to women, Determination of age of marriage,
Kanya Dhan Yojana, Cycle Distribution, Hostel
arrangement, lack of interest rate etc. Along with all those
efforts, a reduction in gender discrimination can happen
only if the society's attitude towards women changes and
in all areas, when it comes out of the house, then a
protective environment can be created even outside it.
