Gender means men and women are not equal and that gender affects an individual's living experience. These differences arise from distinctions in biology, psychology, and cultural norms. Some of these distinctions are empirically grounded while others appear to be socially constructed.

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, it is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable developments. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go to achieve full equality of rights and opportunities between men and women.

Nowadays, the paradox that makes women suffer adversities and put women into unpleasant situation is seen in every angle and every time in life. However, the method of gender discrimination in one place differs from that of other. For example, in workplace gender inequality rises when women enter the job race, not only they are discriminated on salary basis, but inequality at work is demonstrated through the differences between genders and the amount of money paid to them.

Since its independence, India has made significant efforts and had put a lot of finance of the country in addressing gender inequalities, especially in the areas of political participation, education, and legal rights. Policies and reforms to address gender inequalities have been pursued by the government of India. For instance, the Constitution of India contains a clause guaranteeing the right of equality and freedom from sexual discrimination India is also signatory to the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW.

There are also many women who have overcome the problem and difficulties in their life and have achieved their goals and not only women people like: Manabi Bandyopadh who became the professor and first transgender person in India who has completed Doctor of Philosophy, Rajni Pandit became the first women detective of India and has solved 80000 cases, Kamlesh Kumari became the first women to be awarded the Ashok Chakra, and like this there are many more cases of women in which they are at par or above males.

Hope this practice of Gender Inequality would be removed from the society…….
