Gender-Based Legal Discrimination

Gender-based legal discrimination occurs when laws or legal practices unfairly treat individuals differently based on their gender. This can manifest in various ways, such as unequal pay for the same work, restrictions on certain professions, or biased custody arrangements in divorce cases. Such discrimination reinforces stereotypes and limits opportunities for individuals, particularly women and non-binary people, hindering their rights and freedoms. Addressing gender-based legal discrimination involves reforming laws and policies to promote equality and protect everyone's rights, regardless of gender.
