Women and Inequality at Workplaces
BY: Palak Kapoor and Simran jamwal
WHAT ARE WOMENS RIGHTS AND WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT?
Women's Rights are the necessary rights that , we as women, should always have. They are the rights that every human being in this world deserves to have. However many women in this world aren't getting fair rights in working matter such as pay. Many women in America are still getting paid less compared to some of the men in the same job with the same qualifications. As you can see that is not fair and we believe that everybody should have an equal pay if they work for the same job and have the same qualities.
Women's Rights
"Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions, it simply guarantees the equality of opportunity"
~ Irving Kristol
EQUALITY
" A state that does not educate and train women, is like a man who only trains his right arm."
FOR
A women in 2008 got 77 cents for every dollar a man got and that number drops to 68% more for African-American women and 58% more for Latinas.
WOMEN
Nearly half a century has passed since it became illegal to pay women less on the basis of their sex, however it till occurs today.
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes."
~Clare Boothe Luce
HOW WOMANS PAY DECREASES AND WHY DO THEY GET PAID LESS THEN MEN?
There are many reasons why women are paid less than men, which is really not fair. Some of those reasons include:
- Women have disadvantages from the very beginning because they are judged by their gender
- Their ability to work hard and their concentration skill gets them used more and more often
- Their also of very modest and sensitive nature which causes them to be even more used because they are not supposed to be aggressive and fight for their equal right to pay even if they wanted to
In fact theres many more reasons to why women are paid less than men and all of them are equally as devastating and unfair as the ones above, if not more.
SOLUTION:
HOW TO GIVE WOMEN EQUAL RIGHTS AND STOP SEXISM:
- Understand women better
- Get women to believe that they can stand up for themselves
- Make petitions
- Understand + respect their responsibilities
- Give them equal pay
- If they have the same qualities as men they should be treated equally
- Not think of us as shy and modest
Arguments
Women's should have equal rights and us, as citizens, must understand their responsibilities.
- If they leave from work earlier, it is because they have a duty to fulfill towards their children. this means that they have more work to do, and that we should honor them for this. We should not forget that they are working day and night, even at work, and with their children, fulfilling their needs.
- If women have to take a maternity leave, it is because they have to give birth. It is essential, and they should not be taken advantage of for this reason. Lets not forget that it was a woman who gave birth to all of us and went through all of this pain, if it wasn't for them, we would not be in this world today.
- Women are very reserved, modest and shy. They are not expected to ask for more pay or argue, but that does not mean that they are silently taken advantage of. They are just used as they don't ask for more, and work harder than men.
