gender-based
Divided by sex
Gender-based describes actions, policies, or phenomena that are rooted in or differentiated by gender.
The term appears most frequently in discussions of discrimination, violence, or inequality that targets people because of their gender: gender-based violence disproportionately affects women.
It can also apply neutrally to distinctions made along gender lines, such as gender-based marketing or gender-based research.
The compound emphasizes that gender is the determining factor rather than incidental.
