In Arabia gender discrimination was acute in the ancient times. It really turns the society back. So we ought to be conscious about the equal rights of males and females. In Bangladesh in he previous days a deplorable disparity was noticed. But with the progress of education, the picture was changed. Our government is keen to maintain gender equality by taking some epoch making initiatives like making female equation free up to HSC level ,awarding stipends to girl students,recruting more and more female candidates in jobs and so on.Fanaticism,baised social outlook and superstitions are the main barriers. Lack of education and orthodox attitude are also responsible for these barriers.Overwall developments of our country depends largely on the equality of treatment of both the sexes. If the females are neglected and kept outside the development activities, the nation will miss their contributions. As a result, almost 50% of the total development will be hampered. To maintain equality, both male and female sexes are required to go ahead side by side in the field of education, jobs, business and other out of home activities.
