Initially, our society was a male-dominated society where men went out and explored the world, whereas women were restricted to domestic chores.

However, with time, gender discrimination has started to decrease, and more and more women are chasing their dreams.
As per the report, the ‘gender wall’ indicates the barriers Afsana fought to achieve success. She broke the conditions and restrictions which were imposed to pursue her dreams. These restrictions could have been imposed in many forms like limiting oneself to household chores, playing only certain games, studying up to a particular grade in school etc.
