Model Answer
Women face discrimination in the following ways:
- Educational inequality: The literacy rate among women is only 54% compared to 76% among men. Parents often prefer to spend resources on sons' education, causing girls to drop out despite performing well in school.
- Wage discrimination: Despite the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976, women are paid less than men for the same work in almost all areas — from sports and cinema to factories and fields.

Explanation
The question asks for two ways — so write exactly two, clearly labelled. Common accepted points from the chapter include: literacy gap, wage gap, domestic violence, unsafe urban spaces, sex-selective abortion, and unpaid/unrecognised domestic work. Pick any two and support each with a specific detail from the text (e.g., the 54% vs 76% literacy figure). Examiners reward specific examples/data over vague statements.
