Sexism

Sexism is an ideology based on patriarchy, and it maintains beliefs and practices that relegate women to a subordinate position. Sexism also deprives women of equal economic, political and social opportunities. Many roles are restricted in society and at home for women. It does not accord women the same power, privileges and opportunities that a man enjoys in society.
