Editing Female segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Female segregation refers to the practice of separating women or girls from men or boys in certain social, cultural, or institutional settings. It can occur in various forms and contexts, such as in education, employment, public spaces, sports, or religious places.

Historically, female segregation has been prevalent in many societies, often rooted in traditional gender roles and beliefs about women's limitations or inferiority. Examples include the practice of keeping women confined to domestic spaces, separate schools or classrooms for girls, limited career options for women, or restrictions on women's access to public spaces.

In some cases, female segregation is enforced through legal or religious mandates. For instance, there are places where women are required to be accompanied by a male guardian in public, or where certain professions or activities are restricted to men only.

While female segregation is gradually being addressed and dismantled in many parts of the world, gender-based inequalities and discrimination still persist. Efforts to promote gender equality and challenge gender stereotypes aim to break down barriers and create inclusive spaces where women can participate and thrive on an equal footing with men.
