Gender discrimination means making disparity between man and woman. There are some reasons for which people discriminate between boys and girls. Girls are thought to be weaker and burden, useless and unproductive. It is thought that they cannot add income to family. If money is invested for their education, that is supposed to be a wastage. It is also thought that after marriage they will go to the in-laws' houses and serve husbands and do domestic chores. But boys are thought to be productive. It is also thought that they can add income to family. The major fields of gender discrimination in our country are food, education, accommodation , cloth and medical treatment. The after-effects of such discrimination are very dreadful and dangerous. They suffer, more than their male counterparts from malnutrition and anaemia which make them vulnerable to various diseases, resulting in a high mortality rate. They develop a sense of self effacement, self-denial and inferiority that persists through their life time as an inevitable benchmark of the weaker sex. They do not have any say in decision making in the family. They have to fulfill the demands of their husbands. To remove gender discrimination from our social system some steps can be taken. Female education should be encouraged. Religious misinterpretation and narrowness of male persons should be stopped. Then there will be no discrimination between male and female.
