GENDER BIAS IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS LAW When discrimination against men becomes acceptable to society.

Abstract

Gender Issues have become a focal point of the global community for the past twenty years. With billions of dollars spent by governments around the world to promote gender equality and legislation constantly changing to address issues associated, it is interesting to note that there is still gender bias in the Cayman Islands.
In this paper we examine the gender bias reality which penalizes males based on their gender. While the law that will be examined specifically makes it an offence for doing an act against one gender, when the very act is perpetrated on the opposite gender there is no offence.
