Workplace Inequality -- The Discrimination Women Has to Face
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
This abstract delves into the pervasive issue of workplace gender discrimination, encompassing overt and covert manifestations within professional settings. Despite legislative and judicial efforts, bias persists, inhibiting gender parity. Direct discrimination, exemplified through differential treatment and remuneration, is visible. Covert bias, exemplified through seemingly neutral practices that disproportionately affect genders, is subtler. Organizations must embrace comprehensive strategies: providing family support, continuous diversity training, and addressing evaluation biases. By acknowledging, rectifying, and dismantling these biases, workplaces can foster inclusivity and empowerment, thereby ushering in a future where gender bias is eradicated and all individuals thrive unencumbered by discrimination.
