038 deepika Singh replied to the topic Do Women’s are getting chance to participate in decision making? in the forum Gender Barriers and Solutions to Leadership 2 years, 3 months ago
Women have hardly any say in decision making, in our country. Before taking any decision they need the consent of their father, brother or husband. Without consent their life doesn’t work. The society does not let it work. Women’s participation in decision making decreases with the lack of their education. But again women needs the consent of t…[Read more]

Sexism is an ideology that believes that any gender most often women are inferior because of their sex. It exists in the way we speak, the words we write and the way we behave.

038 deepika Singh replied to the topic Are women equally encouraged to 'follow their passion' as men are? in the forum Gender Justice 2 years, 3 months ago
In a patriarchal society like ours, there is no way a woman is ever encouraged to follow her passion as a man is. Since childhood a woman is told to perform and learn all the house chores, since she is likely to get married eventually. She is reminded multiple times that she needs to ‘behave’ as an inferior character since she is a ‘woman’s. She i…[Read more]

Should women be paid for doing their own household work? Well, that would be nothing more than an insult for them. Our mothers do not perform all the household chores so that they could get money in return for it. They do not expect us to pay them, what they actually expect is our love and affection. Appreciating their efforts and giving them…[Read more]

It is difficult to live in a society for a woman where she is judged 24/7 on the basis of the length of her skirt, the size of her heels, the look of her cleavage, the tightness of her jeans and what not! We live in a society where people keep on passing quick judgements on the basis of what a woman wears. They judge a woman’s character by the s…[Read more]

With an increase in the number of crimes against girls like kidnapping, molestation, sexual assault, the need to teach them self-defence has become a necessity rather than just an option. I believe that self defence should be a core subject in our schools just like English and maths.

Toxic masculinity is another extension of gender stereotypes where a man is expected to behave in a certain way so that he is ‘manly enough ‘ to be called a man. I believe that masculinity is not a bad thing but forcing it upon people and making it toxic becomes a issue that needs to be addressed. The traits of toxic masculinity forces a per…[Read more]
