A Study Of Gender Discrimination In Government Universities Of Haryana State

Abstract

Gender discrimination is such a bitter truth that no one is untouched; everyone suffers in one form or the other. Male or female, both are facing discrimination. To examine the issue of gender discrimination, which is the main issue in the modern era, an attempt has been made to study the perception of male and female teaching and non-teaching employees of selected Haryana government universities. A sample of 80 teaching and non-teaching employees of selected universities of Haryana was taken. The study seeks to find out whether male and female teaching and non-teaching employees working in government universities in the state of Haryana experience discrimination? It was found that the gender discrimination is experienced by the employees during recruitment, training and career development. The government should make women and men aware of gender inequality and make them aware of their fundamental rights by organizing conferences related to gender equality at the workplace. Not only should programs and policies related to gender inequality be implemented, but if any gaps are noticed after implementation, appropriate action should also be taken.
