Answer: Gender equality means the practice of treating any gender fairly. It is very important in every society through the whole world. According to the United Nations, gender equality is regarded the first and foremost human right. But in Bangladesh the condition of gender equality is different. In our society we notice that female persons are the worst sufferers of gender inequality. There are many barriers in our country. From the birth of a male child, he gets the most facilities from the society. On the contrary, from the very birth of a female child, gender disparity starts and ends with her death. Our society is dominated by the males. They think that male child will earn money for the family and female child will do only domestic chores. So, male children are always welcomed. There are many reasons for these barriers. The male dominated society is responsible firstly. Then poverty, illiteracy, the disparity of attitude are also responsible for gender inequality or barriers. Gender equality is important for social development. It is not possible for male people to change the socio-economy without gender equality. The old tradition should be changed. Awareness among the general people and the government should be increased. All should work hand in hand to develop our country.
