Gender discrimination means showing different attitudes and giving different treatment to different people on the basis of their gender .

The girls are the worst victims of gender discrimination . The girls are discriminated right from their birth . Gender discrimination tells upon the mental , physical and psychological growth of the girls .

Their health and education are affected because of gender discrimination . The girls eat less than their male counterpart. So they become physically feeble .

Education of the girls is not taken on a priority basis . If the parents can't afford the education of both son and daughter , the girl will be made to give up her education . Education of the girls is not considered essential .

The girls are married off by their parents before they come of age And in selecting the bridegroom the girl's opinion is considered useless . Even in the family the wife does not enjoy any decision making power .

The worst incident of gender discrimination is the torturing of the women by their male counterpart . The women don't know how to resist torture and where to seek justice . In order to bring about a change in the position of the women , women themselves should rise up and protest . This would be possible only when the women would be educated .

We should change our attitude towards the women .
