Gender Inequality: Chapter 1

GENDER INEQUALITY

Gender inequality is discriminating or restricting a particular gender from participating in certain activities of a society. Gender inequality are seen mostly amongst the female gender, women are being downgraded and classified as weak and feeble. They are restricted from so many activities, their ideas, thoughts are being looked down on as dead. Their voice are not heard nor taken, their action seems worthless and meaningless. Gender inequality is also based upon cultural inequality as well, so many traditions forbid women from engaging in certain things. In most culture women are termed to be ‘kitchen staff’ they refer them to the kitchen,where women cook and carry out other household chores. They build the life of a woman to one particular aspect of life, making them to be timid, shy, etc. Gender inequality also is being fostered by religion as well, resisting the female gender from participating in some church activities. Gender inequality has brought about hatred, inferiority, complexity and so on amongst both gender. However, in some areas gender inequality focus more on the men following up with restrictions to certain things in the society. Gender inequality has been a great issue in the world today and one of the critical problem to solve, although it seeming like gender inequality is being tackled fully in the world today but No! there’s still a bridge between both genders, the female gender are left to fight for their right and own their stand in the world we see today. Most historical women of our times have fought their ways through gender inequality and they have won, the roles, actions and power which they have displayed can never be forgotten. Not only did they fight their way through but they also sort to seek the voice of their fellow women by establishing women foundations to train women to stand up for their rights and life. In this phase one gender prioritize the other gender, which turns out to affect the unequally treated gender psychologically.

         The woman character is the main focus here because, till date women are being restricted from some political activities in the society. Our society today has brought about low self esteem amongst the female gender, they are deprived of so many things and their rights being trampled upon by the male gender.  It’s foundation is seen laced in the roots of socio-cultural phenomenon which makes one gender less than the other. The well being of a woman is being put at risk, which affects them mentally, women also face the most deadly part of inequality which is Domestic Violence.

  Domestic violence is the most critical part of gender inequality, it’s another higher phase of inequality amongst both gender. The make gender takes their superiority too far, turning this women to their slaves, hitting and violating their lives and rights, they see women as weak and use that as a medium to hit them. This has led to the death of many women, where they have no voice to speak out, nor the strength to defend themselves. Domestic violence is common in many relationship and marriages today and these women live with shackles of voiceless pain turning these pains into tiny bits of joy making up their everyday life. These women prefer to die in silent than to speak up. Sexual harassment and violence also are being suffered amongst suffocating women, which also breeds rape. Rape is one thing that seem very difficult to tackle in our world today, the female genes are being suppressed to sexual abuse, in which their bodies are being taken for granted with less respect. These women are being forced to sexual inter course, with severe pains and psychological disabilities, these victims after being taped are also treated as outcast in their society. Their pains are not considered, their voice are not heard instead they are discriminated the more.
