"We cannot change what we are not aware of,
And once we are aware, We cannot help but Change"
- Sherly Sandberg
We live in a world where every individual should be treated equally but there is a lot of gender discrimination among every singleton in respect to male and females. From childhood, it has been thought that both men and women cannot do the same work, due to their ability to perform and most women were not considered to do official work instead they have to deal with only household works. This type of psychology of the people is carried till now though the world has changed but the mentality of gender discrimination is still the same in many parts of the world and mostly in rural areas of India. In India, there is a huge disparity in the population of male and females and in many areas the women are not getting their own right to contribute their work towards economical benefits of the society and country. Hence there is a gargantuan difference in access of females to economic, political, educational and healthcare opportunities and their contribution to such services. Women are getting less freedom to do their work and also not included in most of the labour services due to their gender as society thinks they are not eligible to perform labour work due to less physical strength, in many parts of the world the women are handling many labour services and also getting selected for defence service by the government hence this will put a light on the society that they are also capable of doing things and also are able to work shoulder to shoulder with the men.
Apart from this, there is oodles of gender discrimination with the people who belong to ‘’Third Gender’’ category, they are treated immorally by the society and are excluded from doing any work. Now it is announced that the third gender is also a part of the society and they should be equally treated like men and women and also they are involved in the corporate world to show their skills and contribute towards the economy.
India has been declared to be 122 positions amongst 153 countries on the world's economic forum global gender gap index. The index is to measure the Gender gap in access to economic opportunity, educational attainment, political empowerment and health. It has been analysed that the Gender gap index of India is very low in every parameter which is mentioned and the government is working towards the improvement of the lacking sectors.
The corporate Social Responsibility ( CSR) of the companies is to maintain a balance between the gender workforce in their organisations.
Corporate social responsibility can be a powerful tool to uplift the Gender Gap Index of our country by providing :
Proper wages and salaries to the employees based on the performance and not including the gender concept.
Every employee should have equal rights to work in a safe environment.
To provide proper job opportunity for Women’s and taking care of their health and safety measures
To provide equality of treatment to women at the workplace
To spread awareness about gender discrimination in the workplace.
To take legal actions on the unethical practices like paying low salaries to women, excluding from the decision-making process and also on sexual harassment in the workplace.
To take the initiative of educating the women who are not getting schooling facilities due to their gender.
