Here I am talking about gender inequalities. Women and girls having fewer opportunities in life because they are female. The term gender also refers to boys and men, having more opportunities in life. No doubt we are living in 21st century but our thinking is still like illiterate people. When we talk about human rights why always men get all rights, opportunities, responsibilities and choices in life? Girls and women aren't given these rights, opportunities, responsibilities and choices in their life. Societies in which women have equal rights are wealthier. These countries grow faster and having better governance system. The development and growth is high in these countries. S

In India, it is found that in some village women are more responsible rather than men. Mostly in poor families and in villager families men always spend large part of their income for their personal use like wine, smoke, clothes etc where women devotes all their salaries to fulfill family needs. But the worst part of women ‘s life – women are legally their husband’s property, women cannot leave the house or get a job without a man's permission, even some times women’s won’t be allowed to met their parents and relatives.(in Punjab). Fewer girls are well educated like boys , mostly girls are not even passed their secondary schooling. Women like Smt Indra Gandhi , Kalpana Chawla and Kiran Bedi are very few just because of gender discrimination.
Also women are not equally pay to men at their job. Women always get less pay than men even they are working on the same designation having same qualification and work experience. Labor law in several developing countries actually discouraging women because they are pay 27% less than men.
People are more educated today but gender discrimination factor still there . A woman is a foundation of the family and society . We cannot imagine a world without women n girls. But it is found that the current ratio of females and males- 927/1000. In Jaipur , population near about 2million people , 3500 sex-determined cases are found out every year. Sex-selective abortions are more common than infanticides in India. They are growing ever more frequent as technology makes it simple and cheap to determine a fetus' gender. Ratio of female/male-927/1000 is just due to infanticide and sex-based abortions in India.
In India if a woman choose her husband with her own desire her parents and society hardly accept her. A woman who got divorce ,society always abuse her, people misbehave with her. All these activities brought dishonor to her family. So gender discrimination by parents , family ,society ,country is a big issue in this world .
