Gender stereotyping

refers to the expectation that individuals should conform to certain characteristics and behaviors based on their perceived gender. This can include stereotypes about the abilities, interests, and roles of men and women in society. For example, the belief that women are better at caregiving and homemaking, while men are more suited for leadership and decision-making roles. Gender stereotyping can limit individuals' opportunities and perpetuate discrimination and inequality based on gender. It is important to challenge and break down these stereotypes in order to promote equality and diversity.
