Gender roles are assumptions about the attitudes, qualities, and behaviors that apply to men and women based on their gender. A set of beliefs about a certain gender's place in society are alluded to as gender stereotypes. These traits are then applied to every member of that gender, frequently harming and upsetting the individual. Gender roles reinforce inequality and have a significant negative impact on minorities who might not be able to challenge these prejudices.

Gender inequality endures despite global development. Too many girls still experience gender discrimination in the workplace, child marriage and pregnancy, sexual assault, and unpaid domestic work, especially those from the poorest families.

Everywhere in the world, across all echelons of society and economic class, gender-based violence occurs. While both boys and girls suffer unfavorable effects, girls are more vulnerable. Moreover, around the world, 152 million children are currently working. Children who work find it difficult or impossible to attend school, which puts them at danger of going behind their peers. Child labor affects boys and girls unevenly, and parents' choices are frequently impacted by broader social conventions about the many roles that they should perform in the family and in society.

Gender prejudice, which starts in childhood, leads to discrimination against women, which in turn causes gender inequality. Girls and boys experience differential gender norms and societal standards surrounding demands, access to information, and privileges from the moment of their birth, with lifelong repercussions in their families, schools, and societies.

How does gender-specific language influence our culture? 

# data[].attributes.body
Gender-specific language can significantly impact our culture because it reinforces the idea that there are only two genders. This is not true, and not only does it hurt those who identify outside of the gender binary, but it also hurts people who don't fit into their assigned gender roles. Using gender-specific language can perpetuate harmful stereotypes about men and women, leading to discrimination against those who don't conform to these stereotypes.
