both men and women shall be given equal
opportunities to participate voluntarily in
activities at all levels as equal partners and shall

responsibilities equally.
GENDER DISCRIMATION
• Gender discrimination, also known as sexual
discrimination, is any action that specifically denies
opportunities, privileges, or rewards to a person (or a
group) because of gender. The practice of letting a
person's gender become a factor when deciding who
receives a job or a promotion, is gender
discrimination. 
Gender identity discrimination
• Gender discrimination is discrimination on the basis of actual or
perceived gender identity. Gender identity is "the gender-related
identity, appearance, or mannerisms or other gender-related
characteristics of an individual, with or without regard to the
individual's designated sex at birth".]Gender discrimination is
theoretically different from sexism. Whereas sexism is prejudice based
on biological sex, gender discrimination specifically addresses
discrimination towards gender identities, including third gender, 
genderqueer, and other non-binary identified people.It is especially
attributed to how people are treated in the workplace, and banning
discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression has
emerged as a subject of contention in the American legal system.
Transgender discrimination
• Transgender discrimination is discrimination towards peoples
whose gender identity differs from the social expectations of
the biological sex they were born with. Forms of
discrimination include but are not limited to identity
documents not reflecting one's gender, sex-segregated public
restrooms and other facilities, dress codes according to binary
gender codes, and lack of access to and existence of
appropriate health care services. In a recent adjudication, the 
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
concluded that discrimination against a transgender person is
sex discrimination.[
