Gender inequality related to the professions and occupations carried out by humans has been a practice as old as the society itself. This practice owes its relation not only to the Indian scenario but also to various civilizations across the world. Since the civil law practice to codify the laws started gaining impetus, laws regarding gender neutrality in general started getting drafted. This progressive trend also spread to the professional landscape at large. The effective realization of these laws and practices was deemed to be highly sceptical by a large section of the society. The recent perspective is fairly liberal and broad in its outlook. It tries to do away with the entire system of gender stereotyping related to the professions and occupations with the help of progressive judicial pronouncements like the recent one based on Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. This acts as a bottleneck to achieving the dream of equal opportunities for all and hits the right to equality very hard. The researcher, in the present paper, has tried to analyze and correlate the older and recent perspectives towards gender stereotyping related to the professions and occupations, the impact of legislations and judicial pronouncements on the same and analyze the same with respect to gender disparity in availability of sanitation facilities at workplaces resulting in the compromise to right to equality for the society at large.
