5. Sexism or gender
discrimination is prejudice
against
or discrimination based
on a person's sex
or gender i.e.(affecting
women and girls)

7. • It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles and may include the belief that one sex or
gender is intrinsically superior to another. Extreme sexism may foster sexual harassment, rape,
and other forms of sexual violence.
• Normally it is the women which are being crushed under the brutal and cruel administration
and leadership of men.
• sometimes it is being observed that the gender which is being neglected has no right to live or
breath on this very land.

8. Girls face discrimination everywhere in the world. They
often receive less food than boys do, have less entry to
schooling and work long hours.

9. In Pakistan there are two views of ideologies which are
being witnessed
• One is the very conservative
approach
• mainly observed in the tribal areas
of the country
• the women kept in their houses for
no reason
• they are even not allowed to go to
their schools and educational
institutions for the purpose of
acquiring education.
• Its biggest shame for them that a
girl step out of their houses.
• The other one is broad
approach
• mainly observed in cities.
• they consider the females
going out of their houses
for any reason
• They are free to gain
education, shopping, etc.
• In most cases they are free
to choose their life partner.

10. • If we move in to slight more advanced and open
minded people which is in the provinces of
Punjab and Sindh.
• Here the situation is better as compared to
those of the tribal areas but still the gender
discrimination is being observed and
experienced here a well.

11. • In some areas the girls are allowed to
acquire their basic education and
some families even allow their
daughters and girls to opt for their
higher education as well, but when it
comes to the employment and doing
job than majority of the families step
back from this, and they prefer their
highly educated girls to be stayed at
home and then plan for their wedding
and allow their boys and son to move
forward in search of jobs and
employment.
• This gender discrimination effect the
development and improvement of the
economy of the state.

14. The best of you is the best for his family and I am the best for my family
[Tirmizi, Ibn Majah, and Darami]
Only an honorable man treats women with honour and integrity. And only
a mean man humiliates women.
[Ibn Asaker, Al Jame’e Al Sagheer]

15. Laws against discrimination
Convention on the
Elimination of all forms
of Discrimination
against Women
(CEDAW) is the most
extensive and widely
ratified international
agreement promoting
the rights of girls and
women.

16. • The convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC),
adopted in 1989 and accepted by most countries of the
world, provide an agenda for action of inequality and
discrimination against girls, abolishing practices and
traditions detrimental to the fulfilment of their rights
and defining an effective strategy to promote and
protect those rights.

17. •EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION AT WORK PLACE

19. Decreased Employee Productivity
• When an employee is discriminated against, he often feels helpless and anxiety-
ridden, and may suddenly lack interest in job responsibilities, career
advancement or the company's welfare.
• An employee who feels like an outsider because of his religious beliefs or
nationality might lose self-esteem and stop contributing ideas. His morale begins
a downward spiral, which can result in absenteeism, disregard for others' time
and lack of motivation to complete assignments on deadline

20. Disgruntled Employees
• Getting unfairly passed up for promotions based on
gender or sexual orientation can lead to frustration
and anger.
• A male fire chief, for instance, might refuse to
promote women firefighters because he believes men
inherently perform better at the physical duties, or a
boss may continuously send out an attractive female
employee on new-business meetings instead of a
seasoned salesperson.
• These forms of devaluing discrimination can make
employees feel resentful and helpless, which can lead
to friction with management

22. Physical Ability
• If a woman does not appear physically capable, she may not
get promoted or hired for jobs requiring physical strength.
• For example, a female firefighter might lose out on
advancement opportunities be she appears weaker than her
male colleagues, while a female warehouse worker stays
stuck in her position because the more extensive jobs require
more physical labor. This is is a form of discrimination
because the employer is making assumptions based strictly
on gender without giving her the opportunity to complete
strength and endurance tests

28. Sexual Harassment
• Sexual harassment occurs when the office or
workplace becomes a hostile environment based on
sexually charged actions directed at a worker.
• ogling and making suggestive comments about
clothing, body parts, or looks.
• Touching or caressing an employee or co-worker .
• A co-worker who insists on rubbing your shoulders
even though you have asked him to stop is a good
example.

29. Racial Harassment
• This type of harassment includes deliberately
berating someone with racial slurs or phrases.
• . A co-worker who continually tells racist jokes .
Derogatory and negative comments directed at
employees regarding their religious beliefs, age or
sexual orientation are a form of harassment,
especially if these comments persist and nothing is
done about it.

31. Consequences of Discrimination in the Workplace
• Federal law protects employees in the workplace
from discrimination based on factors such as age,
race, sex and disability.
• The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) enforces these laws and ensures that
employees and applicants receive equal pay and
opportunity for hiring, promotion and training.

32. Company Reputation
• If discrimination is happening at your company,
employees will talk about it to their friends,
family and possibly even the media.
.
• In addition, you may find fewer qualified
applicants apply to work at your business and
clients and customers may take their business
to a company with a better reputation for fair
practices.

33. Employee Morale
• Discrimination also creates poor employee morale.
Employees may feel that benefits, rewards and
promotions have little to do with performance so
they stop doing their best work.
• A decrease in employee competition for promotions
or sales contests if they feel that winners have
already been determined based on discriminatory
practices. Employee turnover will also increase as
employees leave your company to work for one that
offers equal opportunity

34. • If your company is found guilty of discrimination and you don't
reach a conciliatory agreement with the EEOC, it may file a federal
lawsuit against the company. If the EEOC charge is dismissed, the
employee could file a personal lawsuit against your company.
