Gender
disparity means gender discrimination or difference between male and female in
the field of observing rights as a human being. In the developed countries
there is no gender disparity. But in our country this disparity is severe. It
pervades both rural and urban communities. It is especially seen in the
rural areas too
much. Many girl students are deprived of getting educated both in towns and
villages. Only boys are allowed to go to school, college and university and
most of the conservative families do so. In many families of Bangladesh
especially of the villages, boys and girls are not treated equally. Manyparents
love their sons more and always give them more facilities than their daughters.
They usually think that educating a daughter is nothing but waste of time and
money. After class seven or eight they think
that they
should marry their daughters off. Even many of the modern and educated families
of our country do not think higher education for their daughters or sisters.
They do not allow their daughters, sisters and wives to do a job outside the
home. They are kept busy with maintaining different household chores and
bringing up
children. But on the other hand, boys or male members of the family are allowed
to go to school, college and to complete higher education and to do any job
anywhere outside the home. However, both males and females should be considered
equal, should be given equal rights and facilities and should be exploited
equally so that women can play a vital role in the development of the country
like men. For this, we have to educate all females and have to change the
mentality. We have to make them aware that
women can do
the same thing of men. Like men, women can change their lives by working with
men and earning a lot of money. After all, government should take effective
measures to diminish gender disparity for the development of the country. So,
if we want our own betterment, we, both males and females, have
to
work together.
