Gender

What is meant by "Gender Inequality"?

Gender Inequality is an evil practice of treating another gender unfairly/partially. The people of other gender are very badly discriminated and mistreatment is done with them which weaken their emotions.

In the whole World, the women and the third gender are very badly suffering from gender discrimination as the people refuse to take them in the society. But, this discrimination will completely vanish equality and unbiasedness in the future.

How gender equality is like with the Native Americans:

The world has made progress towards Gender Equality, but girls continue to be abused and discriminated against in certain parts of the world. For instance during 1990 in Southern Asia for every 100 boys that were en-roll in primary, only 75 girls were enrolled. The Native Americans however, valued women a lot. For example builders, warriors, farmers, and craftswomen. Their strength was essential to the survival of the tribes. In a lot of cases women were responsible for gathering materials to build houses for people. For women of their time this was an astonishing achievement.

Most of the time women who were native americans would just stay home and take care of the children at home. Women also collected firewood, preserved meat and made clothing for their families.

Men were mostly responsible for hunting,warfare and interacting with outsiders. Women on the other hand controlled internal operations of the community. They usually own the family household goods. Gather food and crops, and took good care of the children.

Native Americans are treated well like any other american citizen but back then in the 18 centuries men were forced to go hunting and kill animals, or they were told to go and fight with the other soldiers/other native Americans. But, most of the time in other countries around the world native Americans are treated a bit differently because of their ancestors and their background stories. Like if you ask an american now who are native Americans. A response they would probably give you is “They’re white Indians.”

The idea of gender roles wasn't accepted by natives Americans Until Europeans took over north america. Before there no set of rules for women and men to follow in order to be considered a “normal” member of their tribe.

People who had characteristics of both female and male were viewed as gifted by nature. Transgender persons were see as doubly blessed, having spirit of a man and a spirit of a women . These people were seen as more spiritually gifted than the typical masculine male or typical feminine female.

Women were bus people, they were always doing something every day. Some main foods or crops that they cropped were crops of corn, squash, and beans. Women would also set up tipsi (AKA tents).

Women also collected fire wood preserved meat, fetched water, and made clothing for their whole family. Men always had a hunting role and they mainly hunted animals to eat for their whole family.

Native Americans lived throughout the northern and southern America. In the US native Americans lived in the states Alaska, Hawaii, and the central part of america. So, whenever invaders would attack their territory they would go and attack the invaders. And most of the time their families would get worried that they would die.

Native american men would always do crafts that had to do with their jobs like, weapons for hunting or boats for fishing and traveling to places. Other jobs native american men did were being political and religious leaders. Men also did crafts like jewelry for women to try and collect a lot of money.

Violence against women during partition

The partition of India also gave rise to the violence against women. During partition 75000 and 100000 women were kidnapped and raped. According to information it is said that twice as many Muslim women were abducted compared to Hindu and Sikh women due to the actions of organized jathas. India and Pakistan later worked to repatriate the abducted women Muslim women were sent to Pakistan and Hindu and Sikh women to India. During partition societies of Punjab were affected at all levels by murder displacement by assault. Rival communities targeted women so that the Indians get angry as they loved to seen Indians with afraid faces. During partition violence against women everywhere but the major areas where violence against was Jammu and Kashmir and the Rajputana states. Violence against women was prepared and organised with Pathans taking Hindu and Sikh women from refugee trains while one observer witnessed armed Sikhs. The Britishers drag and pull the women to the rooms of refugee and any men tried to save the women he was killed. All the Muslims and Hindus decided to take the revenge of women from the britishers. Many men who have powers like Deputy commissioners and Police officers tried to stop the abductions but they were killed or lured with money.
