gender biases

Gender biases are unfair assumptions or attitudes that favor one gender over another, often based on stereotypes. These biases can influence how people are treated, what opportunities they receive, or how they are perceived, simply because of their gender. For example, assuming women are less capable in leadership roles or that men shouldn’t show emotions. Such biases are rooted in societal norms and can limit individuals’ potential and reinforce inequality. Recognizing and challenging these biases helps create a fairer environment where everyone is judged by their abilities, not gendered expectations.
