‘Women in the Workplace Issues and Challenges

women’s challenge

1. Men versus Women Issues

Men and women are always two sides of the same coin. Each one of them has their unique charisma and each one thinks and handles the situation differently. •

‘’While a man may be a practical woman could think farfetched. But it is still a shame that irrespective of being equally talented there is always discrimination in the eyes of the beholder.’’

2. Gender Bias:

Gender bias is another challenge that many women experience at their workplace. Though we can say that corporate offices are bridging the gender gap slowly, private institutions and government offices are still way far behind.

• • Jobs that require frequent travel, physical exertion etc. are still open for men only as they are considered more eligible than women. Many companies while hiring women employees ask them openly about their marriage and further family planning as they cannot afford the maternity leaves and other flexibility perks.

3. Sexual Harassment:

• One of the most shameful and heart-wrenching challenges that women face in the working environment is the kinds of sexual abuse she is exposed to.

Mostly women fall prey to cunning men who lure them on the pretext of love and sexually harass them. Many men have the notion that working women are compromising in nature which is the foundation for such vicious deeds.

4. Work-life imbalance:

• Another most noticeable challenge that women of today face at the workplace is the work-life imbalance.
• Differentiating personal life and professional career becomes little hard for women in general. They tend to mix up work commitments with personal priorities and that’s when all the issue starts.

5. Maternity leaves:

Growing from a woman to a mother brings about a lot of changes in anyone. She learns to nurture a small being inside her. Elders say that as a woman becomes a mother, care and patience become her inseparable virtues. • But does anyone perceive what all changes and challenges she is about to face at the workplace before and after the baby is born?

6. Security:

Last but not least the most threatening challenge for women at the workplace is their security.

“With more and more cases of physical assault and abuse being reported in dailies and news channels, women need to learn the art of self-defense for their security.”

WHAT TO SAY ABOUT SECURITY???

“DELHI NEWSPAPERS REPORTS EVERYDAY WOMEN ARE RAPED WHEN THEY COME LATE AT NIGHT.”

“THINK ABOUT A MIDDLE CLASS WOMEN WHO IS THE SOUL BREAD WINNER OF HER FAMILY HAS TO WORK LATE AT NIGHT JUST TO FEED HER FAMILY”
