Topic Reading-Vol.2891-3/11/2020


Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Gender study finds 90% of people are biased against women
With exceptions in several countries, mainly in Islamic states, women are granted the same rights as men by law, or gender is not specified in laws. However, in practice and perception, women are not treated or viewed equally as men. There seem to be a distinctive barrier of bias and prejudices in many places in the worlds though the level of inequality varies by country and culture.
The UN Gender Social Norms index examined biases in politics and education in 75 states and found that nearly half of men think they have more right to a job than women. That limits the opportunities for women to get a job as there are substantially more male managers and employers in businesses and government offices. Gender bias and prejudices need to be reduced and removed for gender equality.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the gender gap existing in people’s minds.
