ANALYSIS
Systems of gender or gender inequality result in violence against women and LGBT
communities
Violence against women happens because of gender inequality. Men feel that they are
more powerful than women physically so that they are unable to suppress them. This has led to
gender inequality. In this people discriminate with women as well as people with LGBT
communities. Lowering down of inequality will result into lowering down of violence against
women. These type of cases are being increased because of misogyny. It is being related to
sexism. Researchers say that extreme sexism can lead to gender inequality. This type of
condition can give rise to rape, sexual harassment and various other forms of sexual violence.
Gender discrimination can give rise to sexism and in this the discrimination happens with people
because of their gender identity. This type of biasness can be faced by women in workplace and
also it has been evaluated that people from LGBT community can also go through discrimination
where they are not provided with equal chances. The discrimination with LGBT community is
also been done because of transphobia (Elias, Maria Ligia Rodrigues, and Isadora Vier Machado,
20, no. 2 (2018): 115-130). In this people have negative feelings towards people of this
community and because of which they are facing gender inequality. In this there are fear of
hatred and anger against these types of people. This is the main reason that people from LGBT
communities are facing discrimination. In this there are no equal opportunities which are been
provided to them. It has also been analysed that child victim of transphobia can go through
various type of harassment including sexual and emotional. They can also be bullied in
workplace and even in institutions. Besides the increased risk of violence and other threats, the
stress created by transphobia can cause negative emotional consequences which may lead to
substance abuse. In order to overcome these situations there must be adequate laws which needs
to be implemented by government so that protection is been given to these type of people. There
