Gender Inequality

Authors(1) :-Dr. S. Mehdi Abbas Zaidi

Gender inequality is unlike anything else. For millennia, it has been a universal common to proven social systems, but to varied degrees throughout countries and across time. The growth of human rights objectives in the mid-twentieth century, as well as global women's movements since the 1960s, has heightened global awareness of this sort of injustice. It also demonstrates that some sorts of gender inequality can stifle economic development and growth. Despite the detrimental effects of gender stratification on women's relative capacities and well-being, moving forward with gender inequality has social implications. Discrimination against women is a common occurrence in India. Due to the wide territory of India covered in this study, examining this prejudice against women in India is not an easy assignment for an expert. As a result, the inventor of this theory has opted to look into the topic of women's concerns in the criminal law sector, particularly in the enactment of dowry laws.
