PERCEPTION OF THE YOUTH ON GENDER BIASES IN MODERN SOCIETY

“Gender equality is the unfinished business of the 21st century”-Elizabeth Broderick Gender equality has been an issue all over the world from ancient times. Since ages, women, in society, have not been treated at par with the males and gender inequality has been existing. Since the few years, there has been a great emphasis on treating all human being equal irrespective of their gender. We are in the 21st century and we are still talking, discussing and finding solution for gender discrimination, gender inequality etc. This is a worldwide subject that seems to get “better” as the years go by but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have an end. Our spiritual beliefs consider women as deities on one hand and yet society fails to identify her as a human being first on the other. The search of equality between genders is fuelling a never-ending war between women and men. Gender bias exists in every aspect of society—from the workplace to the political arena. In modern society gender inequality is the unequal treatment of someone based off their gender rather than their varying skills, abilities, and characteristics. Abolishing all kinds of discrimination in our societies is a responsibility of everyone, regardless of gender, economic, political, or social status. Many efforts have been taken in the past to get rid of this unequal gap between genders.
