ABSTRACT:

Gender Discrimination in the workplace means treating someone unfairly because of their gender. It is a pervasive problem that affects many countries around the world. The issue of gender discrimination has far reaching implications not only for women but for society as a whole. This can include things like paying women less than men for the same job, not promoting people because of their gender, or assuming certain jobs are only for men or women. This kind of discrimination can hurt people’s confidence, limit their career growth, and make workplaces less fair and equal. This report looks at the causes of gender discrimination, how it affects workers, and what can be done to stop it.

When women are discriminated against in the workplace, they are denied opportunities to contribute to the economy and society, and their talents and skills go unrecognised. Moreover, gender discrimination perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces gender inequality, which can lead to further discrimination and exclusion. This paper talks about gender discrimination at work. It explains how some people are treated unfairly, just because they are male or female. For example, women might not get the same pay or chances to move up in a company as men do. It also talks about how this can make people feel bad and hurt their careers. The goal is to understand the problem and find ways to make workplaces fair for everyone.
