GENDER INEQUALITY
Gender inequality. Discrimination based on a person’s sex or gender that results in one sex or gender being regularly given preference over another is known as gender inequality.
Hence, gender inequality is defined as any form of exclusion or limitation based on gender that prevents men, women, girls, or boys from realizing, recognizing, or exercising their full and equal rights as human beings.

Gender Roles
Also, social expectations about our behavior, speech, attire, grooming, and overall demeanor based on our ascribed sex are known as gender roles. Girls and women are expected, for instance, to dress in stereotypically feminine ways and to exhibit kindness, hospitality, and care. Generally speaking, men are supposed to be powerful, combative, and brave. While gender roles are expected in every country, ethnic group, and culture, they can vary greatly among them. In the same civilization, they are likewise subject to change over time. For instance, in the past, blue was regarded as feminine and pink as manly in the United States.
