Gender Discrimination in Odisha: an Overview

Mr. Ashis Mohapatra

Abstract :

Since the ancient period the status of women in Odia society and culture is inferior to men. In Odisha, we see several vivid examples of gender discrimination in our daily life both in the inside and outside of Odia family. The status of women in Odisha is almost the same in modern age as it was in the ancient and medieval period. In this ultra modern age, we see development in every sector but till today both our society and culture favor males and provide several types of privileges to them. Our social system is characterized by patriarchy as a result of which our language is patriarchical and therefore it carries and reflects gender discrimination and gender inequalities. To eradicate gender discrimination from Odisha women’s status should be enhance in all sector and they should be encouraged in each and every field.
