Gender Stereotype

-

A gender stereotype is a perception about the traits or qualities that men and women should or should not have, or about the roles that men and women should or should not play. When it restricts a woman's or man's ability to grow personally, pursue a career, and/or make decisions about their lives, a gender stereotype is damaging.

Even farther, certain groups of women, such as those from minority or indigenous groups, those with disabilities, those from lower caste groups or with lower economic status, and migrant women; are disproportionately negatively impacted by gender stereotypes that are compounded and intersect with other stereotypes.

The act of assigning to a specific woman or man particular traits, traits, or roles only because she or he belongs to the social group of women or men is known as gender stereotyping. When gender stereotypes lead to one or more abuses of fundamental freedoms and human rights, they are wrong.

Women are frequently the victims of prejudice due to inaccurate gender stereotypes. A wide range of rights, including the right to health, an adequate standard of living, education, marriage and family relationships, employment, freedom of expression, freedom of movement, political participation and representation, access to an effective remedy, and freedom from gender-based violence, are all violated as a result.
