Gender discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of individuals based on their gender, often manifesting as inequalities in rights, opportunities, and access to resources. This pervasive issue affects people of all genders but disproportionately impacts women and gender minorities, perpetuating cycles of inequality and hindering social progress. In many regions, girls are denied access to education due to cultural norms, poverty, or safety concerns. This lack of education limits their future opportunities and empowerment. Gender-based violence is a widespread issue, affecting the safety and well-being of individuals in both public and private spheres. This violence not only harms individuals but also has lasting effects on families and communities. Switch Bangladesh Foundation has always been committed to working against gender discrimination.
