Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender.

Sexism can affect either gender, but it is particularly documented as affecting women and girls.

It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles, and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another.

Extreme sexism may foster sexual harassment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence.

Ultraviolet (UV) is an electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm (30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

UV radiation constitutes about 10% of the total light output of the Sun, and is thus present in sunlight.

It is also produced by electric arcs and specialized lights, such as mercury-vapor lamps, tanning lamps, and black lights.

Although it is not considered an ionizing radiation because its photons lack the energy to ionize atoms, long-wavelength ultraviolet radiation can cause chemical reactions and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce.

Consequently, the biological effects of UV are greater than simple heating effects, and many practical applications of UV radiation derive from its interactions with organic molecules.

Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls worldwide, and formed the basis for the women's rights movement in the nineteenth century and feminist movement during the 20th century.

In some countries, these rights are institutionalized or supported by law, local custom, and behavior, whereas in others they are ignored and suppressed.

They differ from broader notions of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls, in favor of men and boys.
