Abstract

Gender inequalities limit the excess and control over resources and facilities, provide fewer opportunities, and create more constraints and needs that are not adequately addressed on account of one's being of a particular sex. Therefore, there is a global need to pay adequate attention to gender issues. Gender inequality is not just about women, it is about addressing existing relations between men and women, gender roles, and barriers to gender inequality as an integral part of the sustainable development. The present study was conducted in Ishwar Sharan Degree College Prayagraj and University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, selected randomly with 200 respondents, equal numbers of females and males. General information regarding independent and dependent variables was collected to get sufficient knowledge and data regarding problems and challenges faced. Women's involvement at home as well as at work, and the effectiveness of gender sensitivity in gender discrimination. From the study, it was found that women had a more positive attitude than men because they considered education to have a positive impact on the whole society. Major agricultural activities were mainly performed by the male respondents. Major decisions regarding work or at home were also taken by male members. The social obligations of male respondents were high in almost all social activities. Higher education for girls also leads to clashes in some familiar situations, and this attitude was found unfavourable in males. The attitude of female respondents towards gender discrimination revealed that females that belong to joint or large families indulged in gender discrimination. Some of the main findings of the comparative analysis reports reveal that the integration of gender analysis into research is less developed than the gender balance equality structural change, and there is often confusion between the two concepts. From the study it was found that respondents having different attitudes due to family background, education and their awareness about gender bias was also discovered in women who were discriminated against in all aspects of life. Working women faced workplace harassment, mental pressure and safety issues. Child rearing problems were also faced by working women, and this study helped find possible solutions for problems and challenges that improved the existing status and security of the women for betterment in society.
