Occurs when men convince themselves that women are lesser individuals
TURBAT: Girls, who form a large part of the population — approximately 1.1 billion — are confronted with many obstacles in their attempts to achieve their rights.
This inequality includes areas such as right to quality education, nutrition, medical care, legal rights and protection from discrimination as well as violence.
Gender discrimination occurs when men convince themselves that women are lesser individuals and think that they aren’t capable of doing anything good for their family and society.
According to a research carried out by the National Human Rights Commission, almost two million innocent women are brutally tortured by men every year. The issue needs appropriate solution.
