To know the status of gender discrimination at work place against employed women, if any.
one hundred and three women were taken as sample who complained of gender discrimination.
Nutrition, less salary for same job, more workload than male colleagues, scolding etc.
Were expressed in simple terms of proportion
Discrimination was more (31%) for nutrition, (26.21%) each for less salary for same work and more workload than male colleagues (16.5%) reported that they have perceived at work place as gender discrimination.
Women were certainly facing discrimination at workplace. This needs sensitization of all categories of workers including employers for paying due respect to their female colleagues etc. Irrespective of caste, religion, economic status, region etc. fees free education of all women, must be made compulsory, because education of the women is a tested solution for the treatment of all ills of society. Hence, no stone left unturned to achieve this noble task of educating the women.
Nutrition, Salary, work load, Education
