An Apartheid is the discrimination of someone based on race or even gender. One current example of an apartheid is the discrimination of women in India. in India women and girls are looked at more as a bother instead as a blessing. Husbands are often upset when they figure out their wives are having a baby girl. And in most cases the wife is forced to get an abortion. The ones that keep their daughters are forced to pay a fine in order to have the baby girl, if the fund is not achieved in the right amount of time they are instructed to kill their own daughter. As they grown up they are faced with discrimination in the work field, schools and even temples of worship. In South Africa the apartheid was against everyone who was colored and they were forced into homelands. In India it isn't that bad, but women are only allowed to sit certain places on the bus. No one should be discriminated against despite their race, religion or anything. But leaders such as Nelson M have been the change that we needed in order to help stop discrimination.
