Gender discrimination is defined as unequal or disadvantageous treatment based on gender. It can take direct, indirect, or harassing forms. Direct discrimination is treating someone less favorably than someone of another gender in similar circumstances, like only advertising a job for a "waiter." Indirect discrimination involves rules or policies that disproportionately disadvantage one gender, like requiring all employees to work full-time. Victimization involves treating someone unfairly for complaining about gender discrimination. Gender discrimination is illegal in employment, education, wages, and other areas and can have harmful mental health, workplace, and economic effects.

3. DEFINITION
Gender discrimination is unequal or
disadvantageous treatment of an
individual or group of individuals
based on gender. Sexual harassment
is a form of illegal gender
discrimination.

4. HOW GENDER
BIAS HOLDS
WOMEN BACK
IN ALMOST
EVERY ROLE

5. DIFFERENT TYPES:
Gender discrimination can be:
•Direct
•Indirect
•Victimization or harassment

6. DIRECT GENDER DISCRIMINATION
It is direct gender discrimination to treat someone less favorably because of
their gender than someone of the other gender would be treated in the same
circumstances.
For example:
advertising a job for a ‘waiter’. This gives the impression that the job is
only open to men.

7. INDIRECT GENDER DISCRIMINATION
It is indirect sex discrimination to have a rule, policy or
practice which someone of a particular sex is less likely
to be able to meet than and this places them at a
disadvantage to the opposite sex.
Example of indirect sex discrimination might
include:
An employer requiring all their employees to work full-
time. A lot more women have caring responsibilities for
young children or dependent adults so they would find
it much more difficult than men to work full-time

8. VICTIMIZATION
If you complain about sex discrimination, you shouldn’t be
victimized because you complained. This means that you
shouldn’t be treated unfairly just because you’ve made a
complaint.
Making a complaint includes taking a case to court, going to
an employment tribunal or standing up for your rights in
some other way.
You can get protection if you are victimized because you’ve
made a complaint about sex discrimination. You can also get
protection from discrimination for helping someone else to
make a complaint about sex discrimination, for example, by
giving evidence as a witness in court.

9. FURTHER TYPES:
• Discrimination in education: women are treated unequally when it is matter of admissions,
recruitments, financial aid, grading, housing, classroom assignment, counseling, guidance, academic
programs, vocational education, and discipline.
• Discrimination in employment: This is a major problem women have to face in workplace. They are
deprived of the basic rights at the workplace and often harassed by the co-workers. Just because they are
females, they are not assigned jobs which they are capable of doing.
• Wage discrimination: there have been many situations in which men and women perform the same
type of work and they probably have the same education too, but still employers don’t give equal pay for
women.
• Maternity and pregnancy discrimination at work: in case a woman is pregnant, some employers
do not even like to interview them. Many females at their workplace hide their pregnancy just because of
the fear of getting fired

10. DIFFERENT WAYS:
If conduct is unwelcome, could be offensive to a reasonable person, and in fact is
offensive to someone complaining about certain physical and/or verbal acts, then
the conduct may constitute sexual harassment even if it was not intended to be
offensive.
The following types of conduct may constitute gender discrimination:
• a faculty hiring only male graduate assistants
• a professor giving higher grades to female students
• a coach allowing only males to play during an intramural game

11. GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN EDUCATION
•It is illegal for either a state or private educational establishment to
discriminate against you because of your gender. This includes admission
policies, unless it is a single-gender establishment.
•So, for example, a mixed-gender school should not refuse admission to a
pupil because of their gender. And they shouldn't try to maintain a
balance between the numbers of boys and girls in the school by admitting
one gender and not another when places are limited.

12. HARMFUL EFFECTS OF GENDER
DISCRIMINATION AT WORK
1. Gender discrimination can damage mental health
2. Gender harassment can cause workplace stress
3. Gender discrimination comes at a cost to employers
4. Gender discrimination can increase job turnover
5. Gender discrimination promotes inefficient hiring and promotion practices
6. Gender discrimination can give employers a bad rap

13. TAKING LEGAL ACTION ABOUT GENDER DISCRIMINATION
If you want to take legal action
about sex discrimination, you will
normally need to be able to prove
that someone of a different sex has
been, or would have been, treated
more favorably than you in similar
circumstances.
