One practice that can help you avoid discriminatory wording is to avoid masculine and feminine words such as "policeman" and "waitress" when referring to a group that can include both genders. A. True B. False

A. TRUE

Explanation:

Gender Discrimination is a socially unequal treatment prevalent in all the spheres of life.

Associating masculine & feminine words with professions is a form of gender discrimination in the area of work .

Eg : MASCULINE -  Businessman , Policeman , Chairman and FEMININE -  Midwife , Nurse , Waitress etc

Stepping towards gender neutral professional terms like : 'Chairperson, Business person' etc - is a progress towards gender equality as the term includes all the professionals of that niche irrespective of their gender.

despite recent progress in bangladesh in the areas of poverty and human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased, with 32% of the population living below the poverty line.

bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries; the size of illinois, bangladesh has a population of 156 million people, half the population of the united states. despite recent progress out of poverty and increasing human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased (undp 2005). 32% of the population lives below the national poverty line, most of whom are women and children. the prevalence of child (under 5) malnutrition is 33%, one of the highest in the world.

the disproportionate poverty faced by women and girls comes as a result of discrimination and exclusion within bangladeshi society, struggling to establish their rights and influence in decision-making processes. traditional practices such as dowries, child marriages and the relegation of being last to eat have created a demeaning and dangerous sociopolitical context for girls and women.
