Gender inequality is actually more popular than you think! Gender inequality can be hidden in plain sight throughout various households and communities. But what is it? According to savethechildren.org, gender discrimination on the basis of gender causes one gender to be frequently privileged or prioritized over another.

While male inequality occurs on a daily basis, females tend to experience gender inequality more often than usual. Even though gender equality is a vital human right and is often violated by gender-based discrimination. 












Unequal gender treatment actually begins in a person's childhood. For example, parents may split and maybe given unequal responsibility and roles for household work. Mother bearing the hard and time-consuming job of caregiving and household chores of cleaning and cooking. Whereas the husband works and pays for the expenses of the household.

Before the 1930s the concept of women entering the labor force was out of the question, most women would dedicate all their time caregiving and taking care of cooking and cleaning. Between the 1930s and the 1970s, the concept of women having jobs started to rise but was still not yet normalized.















By 1970, 50 percent of all single women were participating in the labor force and 40% of all married women had jobs. As well as the labor force gaining more females, the graduation rates of women started to increase substantially and the concept of women participating in the economy and education was normalized.
