Gender Stereotype The treatment of a human being in a negative way because of his sex is the central meaning of gender discrimination. Even though gender discrimination affects both males and females, it’s a known fact that females take the full blow of it all. The progressing world is altering those strong beliefs as time goes by, the beliefs that woman aren’t as superior as men. Thus woman are becoming more independent and some countries even have appointed women as their president and leader, and many men are accepting this with open hearts, because they support women and their rights and they believes that they have potential as much as them. But those rooted seeds

Education is a right for all human beings no matter their sex, color, or origin. But many females are struggling in order to gain it, because their societies or families think that’s it’s a waste of time and money and therefore females are to stay home and take care of their husbands and children. Knowledge should be given to all as the human mind is a sponge ready to obtain it all and produce valuable objectives. Nonetheless, the right to seize knowledge is taken from many females, and they could do nothing but watch, because they think that they can’t fight back.

Rosalind Franklin, a scientist that helped with the understanding of DNA, is another woman who contributed in modifying the science of the world, thus modifying the earth as a whole. And another great woman to add is Florence Nightgale, the founder of modern nursing. And last but not least, Oprah Winfrey, an African American from our time who changed people’s minds about many thing with her talented way of communicating. All those females are just examples of how when given an opportunity, great people can accomplish great achievements. Raising awareness is just one way to the path of solving the side effects that developed from gender discrimination, and by time, the issue itself might be resolved. Some methods of raising awareness could be by spreading advertisements and messages on social medias, because it’s the swiftest and fastest way as technology is seizing over the world.
