glaring disparity

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

striking difference (esp. negative)
Glaring: "used to say that something bad is very obvious"
Disparity: "a lack of equality or similarity, especially in a way that is not fair"
Incidentally, and for additional info as this is in EN-EN, we'd normally talk of "a" glaring disparity, rather than just "glaring disparity", as in your text.

huge difference

Context: "But the more I went on these expeditions, the more I began to notice the simplest things that distinguished a boy from a girl or a man from a woman. For example, girls were pulled out of school when they hit puberty because they were considered ready for marriage and babies. That's 12 and 13 while boys still enjoyed their childhood. Or basic human rights such as health care were denied just because they were women" https://english-speeches.blogspot.com/2018/11/priyanka-chopr...

Discussion
1. One does not suffer from "glaring disparity". A glaring disparity is an obvious lack of equality or similarity. The author means that boys and girls are treated/educated differently, i.e. there was a glaring disparity between the ways in which boys and girls were treated.
2. There is a "glaring disparity" between the use of "they/them" and "we" in the sentence: "THEY grew up in a middle class family with philanthropic parents who reminded THEM how lucky WE were (...)."
4. The word "to" is missing, i.e. and TO give back to those who were less fortunate.
5. "it is a way of life" should be a separate sentence.
