Paper Summary:

This paper looks at how sexism manifests itself in all societies. The paper points out its historical and traditional roots and that it is also reinforced by cultural institutions. The paper gives examples of sexism in the workforce, in the military, and in refugee situations.

From the Paper:

"Sexism refers to a full range of attitudes, preferences, laws, taboos and behaviors that differentiate and discriminate against the members of either sex. These may be the position of male dominance and female subjugation in institutions of modern societies. It may also be in the form of sexual stereotypes between men and women, which are commonly experienced or encountered in employment, especially on the positions they occupy and their earnings or income. One way in which sexual stereotypes have been expressed in the workplace is sexual harassment."
