प्रश्न
How do you think stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do, affect women’s right to equality?
उत्तर
Women are considered inferior to men. There is a belief that women do not have a technical mind and therefore they cannot be scientists. It is thought that women are good at only certain jobs such as teaching and nursing. These stereotypes about women’s capability or incapability of doing certain jobs badly affect women’s right to equality. It is due to this reason that women are not paid less wages than their male counterparts.
