INTRODUCTION
 Gender Discrimination includes unequal pay based on gender, discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, unequal distribution of athletic funds,
and unequal admissions and financial aid practices.
 It is usually the women who usually have to face such gender discrimination
 The discrimination starts even before the girl child is born.
 The Indian constitution provides equal rights and privileges for both men and women, but most women across India don’t enjoy these rights and
opportunities guaranteed to them.
 Gender-based discrimination across India can only be checked when girls are not denied their chance to learn and grow in life.
MEANING
 Gender discrimination, also known as sexual discrimination, is the practice of letting a person's sex unfairly become a factor when deciding who
receives a job, promotion, or other employment benefit.
 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.
FORMS OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination of any type and in any form is wrong and should not be tolerated by anyone.
 Victimisation
 Harassment
 Pregnancy related discrimination
 Marital discrimination
SOLUTION
 It is critical to enhance the value of girls by investing in and empowering them, with education, life skills, sport and much more.
 Changing the value of girls has to include men, women and boys.
 Only when society’s perception changes, will the rights of all the girls and all the boys in India be fulfilled.
 Access to programmes specifically tailored to the needs of girls – with a focus on education and developing life skills, ending violence and
incorporating the needs and contributions of girls from vulnerable groups, including those with disabilities, can strengthen the resilience of
millions of girls
