📢 ETHICS IN SOCIETY | Case of Gender Discrimination

🚨 “They didn’t want a pregnant host” – Mini Mathur on her exit from Indian Idol
She revealed that her departure wasn’t her choice, but because producers replaced her during pregnancy.

🧭 Why is this ethically alarming?
🔹 Reflects deep-rooted gender bias in the entertainment industry.
🔹 Shows lack of respect for dignity and rights of working mothers.
🔹 Violates values of equality, empathy, and non-discrimination.

🔖Values Affected
✅ Empathy – Understanding challenges of pregnant women
✅ Justice – Fair treatment in employment

✅ Social Ethics – Breaking stereotypes against working mothers
