Gender violence in india. A comparative analysis with other nations-analysing the root causes of gender violence

Sex is basically the biological difference between men and women. Gender on the other hand is the sociological differentiation between men and women.

We are born with our respective sex, male or female but Gender is something we imbibe later. The society teaches us to behave in a definite manner. Boys should behave in a specific manner, wear certain types of clothes, or girls should wear certain other types of clothes and behave in a different manner. The concept of ‘Feminity's and ‘Masculinity's has always been imposed on us by the larger society, out there. We are part of a larger whole and yet being guided and supervised by it simultaneously. Not abiding by the societies norms, leads one to be a deviant. Being male and being female is determined by the societal norms and rules.
