gender segregation
Dividing by sex
Gender segregation is the separation of people by sex in spaces, activities, or institutions.
Some segregation reflects cultural or religious norms: gender-segregated schools, gender-segregated beaches.
Other instances are practical: restrooms, locker rooms, sports leagues.
The term often carries critical connotations, implying the separation reinforces inequality or limits opportunity.
