Managing Gender Discrimination
Inequality between men and women is a form of abuse by sex stereotypes and gender roles which therefore lead to discrimination against men or women. , discrimination against women is the main form of gender discrimination and, despite its level of social legitimacy, is a global pandemic. At the family, national, regional and international levels, gender inequality is blooming, leading to injustices against women in social, economic and political fields. Gender inequality, which is highly motivated by gender roles, puts women in a lower position than men in society for a long period of time (Ruyssen and Salomone, p. 150). Despite light of significant progress despite social change in women's equal rights for men and equal rights as men, women are still subject to unfair treatment in cases of rape and gender-based abuse. The goal here is to discuss gender inequality as an international issue and how it impacts women and girls and how it can be addressed.
Females have the same rights as men as human beings and have the right to equal opportunities as them. There have been considerable steps towards changing the attitudes of the people about gender inequality as a good practice in society. The planet has grown in the current dispensation, and this progress is rendered by both men and women. It is, therefore, crucial that society starts to see women as equal citizens as women with the same value in the world as men. A major step in achieving gender equality is a reversal in the belief that women belong to a small class.
Gender discrimination can be managed by giving women equal opportunities and rights. Promoting women in every area of life is a sure way to enable women to participate in the economy. This would promote economic growth and increase productivity, which would have a positive effect on economic growth and profitability. In this reference, developing sex-sensitive schools would be an important step in creating a pleasant teaching and learning environment for women who have been adversely affected by educational inequalities. This would help enhance women's trust through their studies and help to improve gender-related curricula by establishing a national diversity strategy.
Giving women opportunity to power helps managing gender discrimination. Females have less influence in politics globally than men. In the past half century at least 62 per cent of the world's countries, including the US, have never seen a female head of government or state. There is an alarmingly high number of women in political posts compared to men. Females were four-to - one in national legislatures. Gender equality is a rare occurrence because only three nations with single and lower houses have 50% or more women in parliament (Schouten, p.187). The desires and values of women are better represented economically, including the equitable presence of women in government and leadership positions. For many female economic success is difficult to achieve or raise the socio-economic level. Girls work long hours in unpaid household labor all over the country. In certain countries, girls have no right to own property, earn a living and advance their careers by sexism in their work.
Management of menstrual hygiene is essential for children to go to school and engage in their day to day lives but not always. The most vulnerable women live in poverty and insufficient reproductive treatment. Mostly, women will stay at home from school as their school facilities are insufficient because they do not have access to healthcare items or education. Several cultures believe a menstrual woman does harm in all she touches. Some women have to live in "menstrual sheds," which could be dangerous or life-threatening. Such social false taboos contribute to ostracism, early marriages and the threat to the future of women. Teenagers also have trouble accessing healthy and secure products in camps. By providing this necessities to women, they will feel not abandoned or discriminated which will enable them to access other facilities without fear of being mocked.
Giving females opportunity to education. There are around 130 million non-school girls in the world. Although girls' enrolment in schools has increased significantly, a great deal of progress remains to be made. Women will never receive education more than boys. In the world of primary school, 15 million women never go into a classroom relative with roughly 10 million boys. While in the country, various boys and girls face challenges to schooling, there are a number of specific forms of discrimination that only concern women (Jimena and Gautam p.21). This includes forced young-age marriages, sexual violence in schools and certain cultural or religious standards which restrict the access of girls to education. The World Bank believes that better educated women are more active, work in organized labor markets, earn greater wages and get married at a later age. Girls can acquire essential skills and essential knowledge, through education, that enables them to prosper in their professions and make clear choices that improve their quality of life.
To conclude, for effective management of gender discrimination, then giving women opportunity to power, exposing women to education and availing menstrual products to women are some of the key ways of managing gender discrimination as outlined above.
