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.
