GENDER DISCRIMINATION IN BANGLADESH

Discrimination means the ability to make or find out the difference, sensitivity, judgment, of something in our daily life. There is much discrimination that happens surrounding us. Discrimination also occurs in many countries throughout this world. Each country itself has its own discrimination. There is many type of discrimination such as gender discrimination, age discrimination, races discrimination and many more.

The ones that we want to focus about discrimination is gender discrimination. In our opinion, gender discrimination is when men or women are discriminate against as a result of their gender. Gender discrimination is an unfairly treating people because they are either male or male. Generally, gender differences have been used to give good reason for different roles for men and women in some cases giving rise to claims of primary and secondary class.

The country that we want to focus about gender discrimination is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a highly gender discrimination is present at all community levels. We can see that gender discrimination between women and men are quiet strong. In Bangladesh, women are dependent on men throughout their lives, from father through husbands to sons. Women and young girls are more disadvantaged than men in their way in to education, health care and financial assets. There are several factors that make the gender discrimination happens in Bangladesh.

Firstly is a family and gender issue. Gender discrimination start from birth and continues throughout life in Bangladesh. As a result discrimination develops between the boys and girls, boys are considered to be an advantage and the girls are considered to as burden of the family. Girls often suffer gendered discrimination both within school and within the community, from teachers, parents and peers.

Besides that, gender discrimination in educational institution. We can see that this situation currently happens in school. In class room, the teachers always prefer the boys to be a captain of the class because they think only the boys have a leadership quality. This situation makes the girls are put away and neglected. Sometimes when the girl student could not prepare their task for burden in the household activities, teacher even female teachers do not handle the class sensitively and softly. In the coeducation system, sometimes the sitting arrangement of the boys and girls is separate. The impact of this will create in the mind of the students that they should be different from every viewpoint.So,in my opinion whether there is male or female,we should respect each other because we have different responsible for us to do.
