PART 2
Contemprary statistics and contextual background
Gender inequality exists all around world and it severely affects women and girls. In this
they face domestic and social violence. In this they can face discrimination related to pay,
education and many other aspects are also involved in this. It has been analysed that women are
more likely to experience domestic violence. 3.4% of women suffer from physical and emotional
abuse, in comparison to men with 2.3% in United Kingdom. They also can not live freely and are
emotionally destroyed. In England more women were reported to be victim of violent crime in
comparison to men. There are several benefits which are only being served to men than women.
In United Kingdom access to more pay is being given to men than women. Conditions of so
many women are really miserable. Less opportunities are being provided to women in health
education. They have no knowledge related to early signs and symptoms of diseases. There has
been gender pay gap in median hour pay. The proportion of male is higher in comparison to
women.
Sources to provide supporting evidence
There are various secondary sources which can give evidence related to that women right
and gender issues. These evidences have proved that no equal opportunities are being provided
to women in most part of the country. The difference in incomes between single male and single
female pensioners reflects differences in the component. The income of 33% of men in country
comes up from the sources which are private like pension in comparison to women which are
only 25%. Around 3.4% women have been victim of sexual and psychological abuse which
impacts their wellbeing (Herzke and et.al., 2020). On the contrary the number of males is really
low. Higher positions in country are grabbed more by men in comparison to females. The main
reason behind this is that they are not provided with equal opportunities. Women who are poorer
also face inequities of health; they are not provided with fair access to treatment. There are also
sign of gender pay gap. So many women are not kept on job because of their gender. They feel
like it is not women work to do. It has also been analysed that in England and Wales there are
3.7% of women who have been victim of sexual crimes (Young, 2016). Males are always been
less. It is not safe for women to go out alone as so many crimes happens with them. The median
hourly pay between male and female also have huge difference. Male are being provided with
more salary and also better positions are given to men in company. Better education
