This can manifest in various forms including sexism (bias against people based on sex), misogyny (hatred or disdain towards women), patriarchy (social system favoring men’s power and privilege), trans phobia (discrimination against transgender or non-binary individuals), Intersectional discrimination based on multiple identities (e.g. gender, race, class), workplace discrimination and education discrimination (unequal access resources opportunities) Teacher education has passed through a major change in last few years especially with the two year B.Ed. course in the Bihar University (India) syllabus in Gender, School and society has given a lot of insight into what are the responsibilities teacher when it comes to gender equality in school and to what extent we need to change our mindsets and stereotyping on the delivered basis of gender, It also delivered about the biases that student teachers and teacher educators themselves have it comes to gender, and we need a more egalitarian (all people are equal and should have equal opportunities and rights) and open outlook toward this issue in the society which is actually taken very lightly. Education and awareness are crucial in combating discrimination, here some aspects are education, inclusive curriculum integrates diversity equality and inclusion into school curricula. Teacher training equips educators with diversity and inclusion skills. Diversity programs organize workshops, seminar and events promoting diversity. Globally men and women are treated unequally in some way or the other women are the ones who always end up leaving oppressed and marginalized.
