KEYWORDS: - gender discrimination, income, colleagues, struggle, participation. INTRODUCTION Some significant progress has been made towards the gender issue. Education rate of the women are increasing in slow pace, gender gap in primary and secondary level entry rate reduced remarkably, and women participation in labour force higher than ever before over the world. Despite of considerable progress in reducing gender gap, there still exist big discrimination against women in different sectors such as women have less access than men to resources and economic opportunity Furthermore, they having limited access. The movement of women is still limited in many societies (World Bank, 2012). GENDER DISCRIMINATION:- In India female child is always inferior to male child. it can easily seen in our society. We can easily hear in our surrounding that sex selection before birth and in this selection female child always neglected. In America the ratio of women and men are 1029:1000. In Europe 1076:1000 but in India 927:1000. These are not just numbers but this is the reality of India and this shows the cruel mentality of our society. In our society the male child treated as a blessing and celebrated and in the other side female child birth treated as a burden and the parents shows themselves as they are punished by their god. In china, India, Korea in these countries out of 100 girls born nine are missing never take birth or disposed after birth. In India the situation are worst in north India like Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, and Himachal Pradesh. This ratio tells us the hard story of these states:- Haryana-820:1000, Punjab- 793:1000. New technologies give more choices of cruelty to the parents and now it is very easy to find out new ways of abortion and sex selection. WOMEN HEALTH: - In most of the developed countries women lives six year longer than man but in India females are getting less food in comparison to male, less medical facility both in quality and quantity. There is a saying in India DzTo take care of a daughter is like giving water in another field.dz
