Gender segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals based on their gender. This can occur in various settings, such as schools, workplaces, and social activities. The separation can be intentional, such as in single-gender schools, or unintentional, resulting from societal norms and expectations. This practice can impact opportunities and experiences for individuals. For example, in some cultures, women may have limited access to certain jobs or education due to gender segregation. Critics argue that it can reinforce stereotypes and limit personal growth, while proponents may believe it provides a more comfortable environment for students or employees.
