Bien que ce qui constitue une discrimination sexuelle varie d'un pays à un autre, l'essentiel est qu'il s'agisse d'un acte malveillant par une personne contre une autre personne qui n'aurait pas eu lieu si la personne était d'un autre sexe. La discrimination par le sexe se manifeste sous différentes formes, contre les hommes et les femmes, et reflète souvent des relations de pouvoir dans les sociétés. 7, record 1, French, - discrimination%20sexuelle
