Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to an increase in stigmatizing and discriminatory discourses against older individuals in the community.

Discriminatory act conceived without proper knowledge of a given subject. Employed in this chapter as one of the difficulties of inserting women in the market as entrepreneurs.
