Problems Of Working Women
In the contemporary world, women no longer lag behind in terms of career. They are keeping themselves shoulder to shoulder with opposite sex. However, even today they are expected to do multi tasking. They have to take care of family and household even if they are working. Working women refers to those in paid employment. They work as lawyers, nurses, doctors, teachers and secretaries etc. There is no profession today where women are not employed. However, it is true that working women have to face problems by virtue of their sex.
It is an age old convention that women are less capable and inefficient in working as compared to men. The attitude which considers women unfit for certain jobs holds back women. In spite of the constitutional provisions, gender bias creates obstacles in their recruitment. In addition to this, the same attitude governs injustice of unequal salaries for the same job.

Problems for Women in The Military Job
Women serving in the U.S. military face unique personal and professional challenges that their male counterparts don’t, a veterans’ group report has found.
In the National Defense Authorization Act for the Fiscal Years 1992-1993, Congress rescinded female combat exemption laws and then the Clinton Administration opened a quarter million previously closed combat positions to women (GAO Report, July 1996).
Their concerns centered on balancing family life with a military career, inadequate military health care specifically for women, high rates of sexual assault and harassment, and opportunities for career advancement, said the report from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Another argument against women in combat is that they simply do not have the physical strength and endurance needed.
Without a doubt, being in the military is a physically demanding job that not everyone is fit to handle. Despite this, all experts agree that there are some women, although perhaps small in number, (more…)

Workplace Conflict Against Women
We all know that conflicts in the workplace are unavoidable. But now, the number of conflicts are intensifying as workers do more with less and stress levels jump to an all-time high.
More than half of all employees say they lost work time worrying about confrontation with a co-worker, according to a survey by researchers at the University of North Carolina.
Here’s a 6 step process that I’ve found to be effective when using a SWOT analysis:
1) First, define the reason for the SWOT analysis. Do you need a strategic plan? Are you launching a new product or project? Will you be using the SWOT as an ice-breaker, brainstorming or team-building exercise?
A SWOT analysis can be used for all of these reasons – and more – but it’s crucial to define the reason for the SWOT prior to using the tool in order to best focus the effort. (more…)
Sexism Remains still Remains a Problem for Women in Office
If you have any doubts that we live in a society controlled by men, try reading down the index of contributors to a volume of quotations, looking for women’s names.
Feminist, writer, and educator bell hooks (she prefers the lower case spelling) is a social critic concerned with issues of sexism and racism.
It is high time, and past due, that someone blew the whistle on “Women’s Liberation.”
Like The Environment, Women’s Lib is suddenly and raucously everywhere in the last few months.
It has become impossible to avoid being assaulted, day in and day out, by the noisy blather of the Women’s Movement.
Special issues of magazines, TV news programs, and newspapers have been devoted to this new-found “problem”; and nearly two dozen books on women’s lib are being scheduled for publication this year by major publishers.
In 1851, Sojourner Truth spoke at the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. Frances Gage wrote about the speech in 1881, and rendered it in dialect, probably to give a sense of authenticity. While scholars today question whether this was an accurate memory of Sojourner Truth’s speech — or a memory filtered through later expectations and customs about how to depict an accent such as Truth’s — the speech itself is noteworthy and an important event in both black history and women’s history in America.
Some are by women whose names are familiar — or should be familiar. I’ve chosen many of the quotes because they help illustrate who the woman is, what she thought, and what contributions she made to history.
Problems Working Women Face
It is an open truth that working women have to face problems just by virtue of their being women. Working women here are referred to those who are in paid employment. Social attitude to the role of women lags much behind the law.
This attitude which considers women fit for certain jobs and not others colors those who recruit employees.
Thus women find employment easily as nurses, doctors, teachers the caring and nurturing sectors, secretaries or in assembling jobs-the routine submissive sectors.
But even if well qualified women engineers or managers or geologists are available, preference will be given to a male of equal qualification.
A gender bias creates an obstacle at the recruitment stage itself. When it comes to remuneration the law proclaims equality but it is seldom put into practice.
working women have to face different types of difficulties and harassment. (more…)
Sexual Harassment
Many working women face the possibility of encountering sexual harassment in the workplace. While sexual harassment is a crime and punishable by law many women still encounter this issue regularly while they are in the workforce.
While some men encounter these types of problems the majority of the people who handle childcare costs, face unequal pay and encounter sexual harassment continue to be women who have entered the workforce.
That is why these issues are considered working women’s issues.
