Lesson Content

Meaning and Forms of Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination happens when boys or girls are not treated the same way. It makes people feel less critically important or left out.

Forms of Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination can manifest in various ways, impacting opportunities and well-being. These include:

Not allowing girls to go to school
Giving more food or care to boys than girls
Paying boys more than girls for the same work
Thinking boys are stronger and smarter than girls
Forcing girls to marry early
Not letting boys play with dolls or do chores
Believing girls cannot be leaders

Meaning and Forms of Gender Discrimination

Gender discrimination is unfair treatment based on a person’s sex or gender. It may appear in education, work, inheritance, leadership, household duties, sports, healthcare or harmful stereotypes about ability.

Different needs can justify reasonable support, but excluding a learner simply because “boys” or “girls” supposedly cannot do something is discrimination.
