Gender Discrimination:
• Gender inequality in India refers to the health, education, economic and political
inequalities between men and women in India. Various international gender
inequality indices rank India differently on each of these factors, as well as on a
composite basis, and these indices are controversial. Research shows gender
discrimination mostly in favor of men in many realms including the workplace.
Discrimination affects many aspects in the lives of women from career
development and progress to mental health disorders. While Indian laws on rape,
dowry and adultery have women's safety at heart, these highly discriminatory
practices are still taking place at an alarming rate, affecting the lives
of many today.
