Gender Bias 4
Darwin taught that human s*x differences were due partly to s*xual selection, specifically because men must prove themselves physically and intellectually superior to other men in the competition for women, whereas women must be superior primarily in s*xual attraction. Darwin used examples of cultures that require the men to fight competitors to retain their wives to support this conclusion. Because "the strongest party always carries off the prize," the result is that "a weak man, unless he be a good hunter . . . is seldom permitted to keep a wife that a stronger man thinks worth his notice"

Gender Bias 3
Several studies have found that women earn a smaller average wage than men. Many economists and feminist scholars have argued that this is the result of systemic gender-based discrimination in the workplace. Others, however, maintain that the wage gap is a result of differences between the choices that men and women make in the workplace, such as more women than men choosing to be full-time parents or work fewer hours to be part-time parents.

Eurostat found a persistent, average gender pay gap of 17.5 percent in the 27 EU member states in 2008.[48] Similarly, the OECD found that female full-time employees earned 17 percent less than their male counterparts in OECD countries in 2009.

"When women are empowered and can claim their rights and access to land, leadership, opportunities and choices, economies grow, food security is enhanced and prospects are improved for current and future generations".

Gender Bias _ post 1

Author Jeffrey Archer, who was in the city on Monday to launch the third book in his five-part series The Clifton Chronicles, told Hindustan Times that a “massive problem” in India is that women are not treated as equals.
There is a massive problem [in India], and it is a terrible thing for any woman to not be treated as an equal. The instance [of the Delhi gang r**e] is very terrible,” said Archer. “But I am very aware of the next generation of young women in this country being very self-confident and assured. Education is the key, and education not only of women, but also of 'stupid' men who think they are superior.”
Archer, 72, said the gender bias existed to some degree in England as well.
"We still have people in England who treat women as inferior. You will never get rid of all of it. The mindset has to change over the years. We have had a woman Prime Minister and so has India,” he said.

Archer, whose books have been bestsellers in India, admitted he did not know why he was so popular here. “It is a complete mystery to me as to why, in India, I outsell everyone. In the rest of the world, I am fighting with two or three others [writers], but not in India. This is my country,” said Archer.

However, fans should not expect a novel about the country any time soon.

“I love this country and know this country, but I don’t have the confidence to write an Indian novel, though Indians fans always ask me to write one,” Archer said.

He added that he plans to write a set of short stories after completing the series and then work on a novel.

“I will continue writing for another 20 years,” he said.

Best Kept Secret is the third installment of The Clifton Chronicles, a quintology. The books revolve around the protagonist Harry Clifton’s life from 1920 to 2020.

Archer said the books are almost autobiographical.

Globally, about 1 billion people are absolutely poor, living on less than a dollar a day; 162 million live well below that on less than half a dollar a day. About 800 million people are hungry, lacking sufficient access to food and far more people suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies that lead to serious health problems.

We believe that there are many causes of hunger; therefore we take an integrated approach when looking for solutions to communities’ food shortages and nutritional problems.

We will be integrating programs seek to provide long-term solutions to hunger. An area of exploration that we are presently focusing on is the lack of linkages between agricultural production and nutrition. The importance of deliberate decision-making regarding nutrient-rich crops can make a significant difference in the nutritional status of young children, coupled with a social approach that addresses the gender issues and education around food storage, preparation and eating order.



if you know someting related to the above issue ,please post to us
