at the national level through legislation or conventions. Charter of fundamental rights is an
important document that confirms the human right of gender equality through article 23. The

Gender inequality and its forms
Law treats every person equal but it is the society that sets different standards and norms
for different social groups. Gender inequality is an emerging issue of the present era which
acknowledges that women and men and not equal and gender of people affects their living
experiences. It is a horrible situation where women are treating in a discriminatory manner. The
one important thing to mention here is that gender inequality is not always about the poor
situation of women in comparison to men but many times, men also face discrimination.
However, it is all about equal treatment of both of them in a particular situation. A variety of
reasons are there that contribute to the issue of gender inequality and these factors include, rigid
culture, illiteracy, lack of enough empowerment and other similar issues. Gender inequality
against women comes in many forms such as discrimination, domestic violence, sexual
harassment and hate speech. The gender pay gap is another important factor that contributes to
gender inequality and will be discussed further in detail. The seriousness of the issue can be
understood by the fact that out of 19000 direct disclosures, a total of 16946 disclosures has found
related to domestic violence against women, an analysis (womensaid.ie, 2020).
